Graduate students and postdocs: FEMA sponsored short course after AGU:
Have you wondered what to do in case of a volcanic crisis? The National Disaster Preparedness Training Center at University of Hawaii is scheduling a free FEMA-sponsored day-and-a-half course on Volcanic Crises Awareness. The course runs from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday December 13 and 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Sunday December 14. The course will be held at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel and FEMA covers all administrative costs. On completion of the course and a pre and post-test, you will receive a certificate from FEMA.
Volcanic Crisis Awareness was developed jointly by the University of Hawaii and the Volcanic Hazards program of USGS. The course includes 5 modules entitled:
The volcano problem
Hazards and impacts
The pulse of the volcano
Case studies
Awareness and preparedness
These are then followed by a 4-hour long eruption scenario based on a future eruption at Mount Hood.
Registration for the course and the pre-test are available online. Please contact Kristine Curran (kkosinsk@xxxxxxxxxx) for information on the registration process. Further information is available at https://ndptc.hawaii.edu/training
