- Environmental Health in Disasters
- 2.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:This course presents the basic principles of qualitative health risk assessment of environmental chemicals, including an overview of the qualitative skills necessary to evaluate the probability of injury, disease or death in the general population from exposure to environmental contamination. It will also emphasize the qualitative aspects of hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response evaluation and risk characterization. Lastly, the course will address issues in risk management and communication.
- Environmental Health in Disasters
- 2.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:This course takes a closer look at the fundamentals of environmental health through the lens of a disaster situation. Environmental health issues that arise during disasters are explored, and suggestions for environmental health responses unique to disasters are given. Several historical disaster examples are used, with a focus on Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami and the World Trade Center collapse as the major case studies.
- Environmental Health in Disasters
- 4.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, it is anticipated that the first several days will be dedicated to emergency response and rescue operations. Responding to disasters must be a well coordinated effort between the private and public sectors. Local, state and federal environmental health teams must include experts in all aspects of environmental health if and when available. This course will discuss environmental sampling and monitoring procedures for water, air, soil and sediment.

- First Responder Preparedness
- 3.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:This course hopes to bridge the communication gap between first responders (e.g., EMS staff in the field) and first receivers (e.g., emergency room personnel at a hospital) in the event of a terrorist attack. Topics that will be covered in this course include: orientation to duties and expectations of both first responders and first receivers, channels and methods of communication, responder information collection at scene and clear communication guidelines during handoff at a hospital.
- First Responder Preparedness
- 6.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:Using the examples of field exercises Lifesaver 2004 & 2005, the course will discuss the principles of counter-terrorist preparation and incident command leading to outcome oriented exercises. The planning, execution, evaluation and exploitation of actual field exercises are reviewed. The execution of delta analysis is covered to identify and acquire initial operational capability and to apply available resources in an economic fashion in professionally achieving and expanding selected operational goals.
