The course objective is to enhance the knowledge base of cohort members to enable them to apply the executive emergency management core competencies from a leadership lens; facilitate a collaborative contribution from cohort members that results in improvements in emergency management policy and practice; build and sustain a network of executive level emergency management leaders to ensure continual improvement of the field.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Validate the outcomes of basing decision-making on different types of models and simulations used by emergency managers
  • Compare the differences between models and simulations
  • Assess the limitations of models and simulations based on data inputs, accuracy, variables, and time
  • Analyze ways to use models and communicate their utility and limitations to emergency manager stakeholders and the general public
