June 25, 2024, 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET
FEMP IACET: 0.2 CEUs
Level: Introductory
This training examines how resilience is assessed and measured at federal sites, focusing on "what is it?" and "why should we care?" for two key concepts: hazard and vulnerability.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Recognize how to identify and assess a facility's exposure to hazards, natural and otherwise.
- Recognize how to identify and assess a facility's vulnerability to hazards.
- Recognize how to use the results of hazard and vulnerability assessments to help meet facility energy, water, and emissions goals and requirements.
