About this Course
This course may help increase your knowledge about whole community emergency planning (including COVID-19) and share basic information for you to connect with your own local emergency managers, public health planners, and community.
After arriving in Disasterville you will hear from Disasterville’s professionals and community members and assist them with whole community inclusive emergency planning. You’ll learn about the Prepared4ALL process for local emergency planning collaboration. Local emergency and public health preparedness planners, the ADA Coordinator, and others from Disasterville will talk about what local planners may not know about people with disabilities. They’ll explain Prepared4ALL Action teams, how to hold Community Stakeholder Meetings using the Active Planning workbook, and how the U.S. local emergency planning system works.
As you meet Disasterville professionals and community members, you will be asked to make decisions and answer questions to check your learning about inclusive and accessible local emergency planning.
You must visit Disasterville 8 times to earn a Prepared4ALL Certificate of Completion. You may also just take one lesson that interests you. But you will need to take all 8 lessons in order to earn the Certificate.
