Description

The course goal is to enhance public, private, and NGO partnerships to prepare for and manage critical logistics and supply chain challenges during large-scale disaster situations, including COVID-19. In times of disaster, even Supply Chains that were previously functioning can experience significant disruption, generating acute life-safety challenges and quickly turning a disaster into a catastrophe.

The course provides a practical approach for participants to develop and incorporate collaborative public-private solutions into disaster preparedness planning for both the public and private sectors to ensure and support disaster resilience in the Supply Chain and address the Food, Water, and Sheltering lifelines.

Course Length is 16 hours and provides 1.6 CEUs. In-person deliveries occur over 2 days from 8 AM to 5 PM daily. Virtual (Zoom) deliveries occur over 4 days for 4-hours per day.
