Course Title

The Senior Officials Workshop for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism Incident Preparedness

Description

The executive workshop theme is “knowing the right questions to ask …and getting the right answers”.

The Senior Officials Workshop (SOW) is designed for county and city elected and non-elected senior officials. The purpose of the SOW is to provide a forum to discuss the strategic and executive-level issues and challenges related to WMD/terrorism preparedness, share proven strategies and practices, and enhance teamwork and coordination amongst the city's and county's senior officials responsible for emergency response to a WMD/terrorism incident.

The 6-hour seminar integrates multimedia scenarios and vignettes that highlight the key issues and facilitate discussion.
