Building international links in emergency management
In early June, the Joint Centre for Disaster Research (JCDR) delivered the first online version of its week-long Emergency Management (EM) Summer Institute short course to a small group of participants from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Seven high-ranking officials in charge of emergency management from the Abu Dhabi Police and Sharjah Police attended the course.
Programme Coordinator for JCDR Jennifer Lillo said; We had started a conversation with UAE a couple years ago and they were hoping to come in-person to our course, but obviously Covid got in the way.
The EM Summer Institute is a programme providing a theoretical and practical introduction to selected topics relating to emergency management – including warning systems, decision making, animal welfare, human behaviour and incident command systems.
