13 courses with the subject EMG, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
EMG 101Introduction to Emergency Management: An Integrated Approach to Public
Safety and Community Unification (3) This course provides an up-to-date overview of emergency management concepts and functions. Emphasizes the importance of teamwork among all players in planning or responding to an emergency or disaster situation. Includes the need for emergency management, the emergency management process, the team approach to management, and the evaluation of modern emergency management techniques and methods.
EMG 120Survey of Natural, Technological & Intentional Threats3
This course builds understanding about the types of hazards that threaten public safety. Topics include natural events such as weather, flooding, earthquakes and volcanic events; technological hazards that occur under normal operation and upset conditions; and intentional threats initiated by individuals or groups. Students learn how community vulnerability to these hazards is linked to geography, time, and social structures.
This course builds a conceptually sound basis for identifying potential causes of emergency events, estimating their probability and severity, evaluating community vulnerability, systematically identifying mitigation strategies, and selecting from among options. Methods for studying new or rare threats for which there are scant data are included. The essential links between sustainable development and effective hazard mitigation are stressed. Introduces operations frameworks in the United States such as the Incident Management System (ICS), the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the National Response Framework. Other frameworks used by NGOs, the military, and international organizations are compared. The need for organization, pre-planning, and coordination integrated with the need to expand structures and adapt plans when handling complex incidents and large, pre-planned events.
This course will expose the student to current best practices in emergency management. It will examine public expectations relative to the use of communication and modern technologies for emergency management activities. The public’s demand for transparency and ever-increasing need for information and updates will be covered. By looking at the emergency manager’s role not simply by job function, but on what the public demands, topics covered include efficiency, magnification, humility, creativity, ethics, the tension of changing public expectations and long- standing best practices within the emergency management community.
EMG 301Emergency Planning: Hazard Analysis, Mitigation, and Sustainability3
This course builds a conceptually sound basis for identifying potential causes of emergency events, estimating their probability and severity, evaluating community vulnerability, systematically identifying mitigation strategies, and selecting from among options. Methods for studying new or rare threats for which there is scant data are included. The essential links between sustainable development and effective hazard mitigation are stressed. Fulfills Quantitative Reasoning General Education requirements.
EMG 310Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Emergency Management3
This course presents an overview of the use of computer-aided technologies in emergency and hazard management. Topics include data collection, encoding, and analysis, along with a survey of publicly available databases, hazards maps, and GIS applications. Case studies in emergency and hazards management are utilized.
This course provides the student with the information necessary to operate effectively in an incident command system for any type of incident. It will cover ICS, NIMS and lessons learned to enhance the student's experience. Case studies and exercises will be utilized.
This course examines concepts and principles of community risk assessment, planning, and response to fires and natural and man-made disasters, including civil disturbances, terrorists' threats/incidents, hazardous materials incidents, mass casualty events, and earthquakes. Standard strategies and organizational frameworks are reviewed, including NIMS/ICS, mutual aid and automatic response, training and preparedness, communications and disaster mitigation and recovery. Prerequisite: FRS 321
EMG 366Drones and UAV|UAS’'s in Emergency Services3
This course will expose students to new technology being introduced to the Emergency Service Providers. Students will learn the history behind drones, learn about various types of drones that are available to EMS Personnel and will complete the necessary class work that will enable them to take the FAA part 107 License exams. This education will be accomplished through both classroom lectures and practical applications\manipulation of various small drones.
