4. What is Disaster Management and What is Mean to You?

5. Disaster Management The United Nations defines a disaster as a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society. Disasters involve widespread human, material, economic or environmental impacts, which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.United Nations defines a disaster The Red Cross and Red Crescent societies define disaster management as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters.Red Cross and Red Crescent societies define disaster management

6. Disaster Management We define emergency management as preparing for the unknown to improve your odds of success. Emergency and Disaster management helps you prepare for: Natural Disaster Terror Attacks Environmental Emergencies Complex emergencies Pandemic emergencies

13. Centers of Excellence ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS IN TRAINING

14. Train for Success Problem: We don’t know when or what major incident will occur. When a major incident (terrorist or natural event) occurs, the same people who are expected to get together to solve the problem have very little experience working together and little experience solving major problems. Solution: Bring the Headquarters or Operations Center staff together and train them under realistic conditions where they can practice what to do and who to talk to during a crisis. When a major event occurs, it is NOT the time to start learning your job.

15. Training Simulations Our experts analyze your requirements and develop unique training scenarios, to meet your organizations training objectives. We also design your training solution to help your staff practice working together under realistic training conditions. Our simulation-based training is a unique way to ensure that everyone knows what to do, when to do it and who to talk to during even the most stressful events.

18. Simulation Environment Tools Virtual Live Constructive

19. Live Simulation A live simulation is one that involves real people operating on their real equipment. This type of simulation is the most expensive and time consuming to run, but it often is the most effective. Think war games with soldiers out in the field or manning command posts.

20. Virtual Simulation Virtual Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real- world process or system over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected physical or abstract system or process.

21. Constructive Simulation A constructive simulation tool can allow Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staff the ability to simulate an Emergency Preparedness Plan without having to run costly and time consuming table top exercises. Corporate and Regional Emergency Preparedness Plans as well as municipal emergency management plans (MEMP’s) can all be simulated within a constructive simulation tool.

22. Constructive Simulation A constructive simulation tool creates an effective computerized simulation of most man-made and natural disasters and creates a training environment where operations centre staff and supporting agencies and departments can practice internal and inter-agency coordination. These simulation tools allow for mobilizing response personnel and agencies by coordinating the activities of industry responders, emergency services, local authorities, health services, government departments and all agencies that have a key role in providing an effective response.

23. Training Services for Successful Handling of Disaster Management PREPARING FOR SUCCESS

24. One of the largest problems with paper-based Emergency Response Plans (ERP) is that they are cumbersome documents that are difficult to understand and even more difficult to apply in an emergency. “A digital picture is worth a thousand words” applies here.”

25. Simulation Scenario Examples Train Derailment Forest/Wild Fire Airport Incidents Pandemic/Disease- Based Events Earthquake Shootings WMD/CBRN Events Port incidents

26. Emergency Preparedness Planning Develop regional and organizational specific Emergency Management plans Government and private agencies working together Use real infrastructure and geospatial data Create a working Emergency Response Plan digitally

27. Exercise Design & Delivery Develop realistic and effective training programs Train Emergency Operations Center (EOC) command staff Fine tune staff reactions to crisis situation Design better and more realistic exercises with real data Distributed exercise design

28. Emergency Response Plans An emergency response plan created digitally will significantly reduce the amount of effort required to put together and publish an ERP. This same digital information can be re-used for training (After Action Review) briefings, simulation and discussion in a much more user friendly, transportable, dynamic and understandable format than a paper table top exercise.

29. Emergency Response Plans Develop realistic response plans Test and validate plans Train to the highest standard for every disaster scenario World class simulation products to test effectiveness Highest quality and experienced training staff
