To
increase preparedness for a natural or manmade disaster, the Rural Domestic
Preparedness Consortium is offering a free Resource Inventory Management course
in Parkersburg on Feb. 21.
Supply
chains in rural areas are particularly vulnerable to the disruptions of natural
and manmade disasters, according to the Eastern Kentucky University-based RDPC.
Those areas especially need to prepare for an interruption in the flow of goods
and services in and out of their communities as well as for job loss, loss of
revenue, lack of housing, high rebuild costs and increased demand for goods and
services.
The RDPC's
Resource Inventory Management course is a free Department of Homeland Security-certified
curriculum that provides first responders and others with the planning and
management-level skills they need to develop and implement resource management
strategies for rural communities.
MGT
339 is designed as a planning/management level course for practitioners in emergency
services, public health, local and state government and others in the first
response community.
The
training introduces basic principles and skills associated with resource
inventory management for small communities and rural areas. It gives participants
basic competencies associated with resource management and provides enough
information to ensure rural areas can plan effectively for the worst.
The
prerequisite for this course is ICS 300. Registrants also should have a working
knowledge of emergency operations and homeland security practices and functions
on a management level.
This
course will take place on from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the Judge Black
Annex at 315 Market Street in Parkersburg.
The registration deadline for the course is
Feb. 7. To register, contact Christian Fernley at (304) 558-6221 or at gregory.c.fernley@wv.gov.
