Full Description
Description
The better a community communicates, the more prepared and equipped that community will be to respond to a hazard event.
Bi-directional communication sharing of disaster information
facilitates improved disaster response execution. Using the widest possible range of communication tools (e.g., omnichannel
communication) helps ensure redundant communication capability, high information fidelity for decision-makers, and contributes to achieving response goals during and following a disaster
occurrence. 
This four-hour awareness-level training course will provide
community and volunteer groups, state and local government agencies, and other stakeholder groups, as well as concerned
citizens, with relevant information and practical exercises that will improve their knowledge and skills to better serve the
communication needs of their communities. The course is
designed to help participants to better understand the importance of communicating with different groups at different times, and to evaluate the various tools available to affect communications.
