Course Overview

Large-scale public safety incidents—such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, mass gatherings, pandemics, and industrial accidents—require well-structured planning and seamless coordination between agencies and communities. Without strong leadership and collaboration, such incidents can overwhelm systems and compromise public safety.

The Managing Large-Scale Public Safety Incidents Training Course provides participants with frameworks for planning, risk assessment, crisis communication, and interagency collaboration. Through case studies, scenario simulations, and role-play exercises, attendees will gain the tools to manage complexity, reduce risks, and ensure effective incident response.

By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to lead and coordinate responses that protect lives, maintain public order, and support recovery.
