AWR-347 Climate Adaptation Planning for Emergency Managers
Training Organization: National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC)
8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
This eight-hour awareness-level course will prepare participants to describe the principles of climate adaptation planning for emergency management and first response processes. This course will train participants to be able to discuss the impact of weather hazards on critical infrastructure and key resources, and explain how climate change projects will affect those impacts. The processes of common weather hazards, climate variability, and climate change will be addressed alongside risk assessment paradigms.
Community Resilience
Training Organization: National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC)
8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to increase resilience in their communities. The course introduces participants to the concept of resilience and offers them hands-on tools to assess their community’s exposure and vulnerabilities to natural hazards. It also includes tools and recommendations for participants to assess the capacity of their community in order to increase resilience and effect positive change. The course uses interactive studies and readily available tools and techniques that allows for participants to turn resilience theory into action.
Natural Disaster Awareness for Caregivers
Training Organization: LYON Associates, Inc.
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Objectives:
- Identify the natural hazards that may affect an eldercare facility or home and explain how risks associated with hazards are identified may be minimized
- Describe the constraints and vulnerability factors associated with senior citizens
- Application of knowledge of material covered in Modules 2 and 3 for at-risk-senior citizens and their caregivers impacted by tsunami, hurricane or tornado
Wildland Fire Risk and Mitigation Strategies for Pacific Islands
Training Organization: University of Hawaii
8:00 AM – NOON
The proportion of land area affected by wildland fire in Hawaii and western Pacific Islands such as Yap, Guam, and Palau is equal to, and in some years greatly exceeds, that of states in the Western US. The impacts of fires can be particularly acute on Pacific Islands given the proximity and tight linkages among communities, watersheds, and nearshore resources. Understanding the social and environmental factors that drive fire risk and the available strategies to reduce that risk is critical information for planners, community outreach and education efforts, and both marine and terrestrial resource management programs. This half-day training, co-developed by the Pacific Fire Exchange (www.PacificFireExchange.org) and the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization (www.HawaiiWildfire.org), will first cover the ways in which climate, vegetation, and human activities affect fire occurrence on Pacific Islands and the impacts of fire on cultural and natural resources. The training will then provide an overview of current strategies, informational resources, and funding opportunities available that target fire risk reduction. This will include federally recognized Community Wildfire Protection Plans and public outreach, pre-fire planning and fuels management and risk reduction at both landscape and household scales, as well as mitigating social and ecological impacts after fires have occurred. In addition to these topics, the training organizers will present available informational resources and illustrate the application of these resources using case studies from their extensive work on wildland fire issues throughout the region. The training will conclude with a facilitated discussion with training participants about current needs and potential partnerships between fire-related projects and other natural disaster work in the Pacific.
