This is especially so in times of emergencies, such as power outages, floods, hurricanes or other natural disasters. Today we also face the very real possibility of biological or chemical terrorism, which can interrupt services to thousands of homes and affect the very large population areas for extended periods of time. This course provides awareness level training in developing and delivering communications to the public, partners and the media. The program presents methods to improve internal communications, how to develop partnerships and skills for communicating with the public or media during a crisis and employ case study activities to put the information presented to use.
