Title: Project Management for Emergency Managers
Location: Online Via Zoom
Here's a detailed overview of the benefits that await you:
Over the course of 6 weekend sessions (18 contact hrs.), this hands-on workshop explains and demonstrates how to apply project management in the context of emergency management.
Emergency management has become increasingly more complex and interconnected, and agencies have been called on to address a wider variety of hazards, threats, and community vulnerabilities.
Much of the work that falls into the scope of emergency managers, prevention, preparedness, and mitigation is “blue sky planning” and can be contained and effectively managed within projects; they may be longer-term plans and mitigation measures or short-term emergency responses to a disaster.
Key Learning Objectives By the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:
Explain the reason why project management (PM) methods are appropriate for emergency management (EM).
Apply a framework for how PM applies to EM.
Demonstrate the use of basic project management methods and tools: scope, schedule, and budget, working with examples appropriate for the emergency management field.
Describe the other elements of project planning: HR, quality, risk, procurement, stakeholder, and communication management.
Explain the process of monitoring and controlling projects.
Identify next steps to implement and build on what you have learned.
