502 Climate Adaptation Planning for Emergency Managers
This is a standardized Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) class offered through the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC), combining climate science and community adaptation. Both instructors are geoscientists with emergency management experience. Classes are tailored to each audience by drawing from the National Climate Assessment for locally/regionally relevant information. Classes are interdisciplinary; this offering is relevant to local/regional planners, policy makers, scientists, responders, emergency managers, healthcare providers, the general public, etc. The goal of this course is to prepare the community and the emergency services sector for the adaptations and systems vulnerabilities related to climate change, to enhance awareness of future climate-related hazards, and to demonstrate roles geoscientists can play in informing climate-related decisions. Participants will receive a FEMA certificate upon successful completion of the class (both days). In addition to your registration with GSA, you will need to create a National Disaster Preparedness Training Center NDPTC profile and complete a course pre-test. Additional guidance will be provided closer to the delivery date. Per federal law, foreign nationals wishing to attend FEMA-funded training must complete and submit a FEMA application requesting approval for attendance. The request will outline the participant's professional relationship with the state or local jurisdiction and the anticipated value the training will provide for the participant in support of that jurisdiction. This application must be completed at least 30 days prior to the training date. Please contact Amanda Bates at batesa@hawaii.edu for assistance with this process.
