How does Public Works fit into the emergency equation?
Integrating the public works team into emergency response operations is an ongoing task. Interagency coordination, communication and collaboration are vital to achieve the most effective, efficient response possible.
As the steward of critical public infrastructure, public works has a significant place on the emergency management team to lessen the potentially devastating and long-lasting impact disruptions or destruction of public services can inflict on a community.
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
1. develop a plan for integrating public works professionals in the planning for emergency response and major planned events
2. explain the role public works plays in local multi-agency teams
3. correlate the role public works plays in state-wide multi-jurisdictional teams |
