The course reviews the ICS and EOC models of emergency management operations, including coordination, communication, and chief executive decision making, and places ICS in the context of the evolving National Incident Management System (NIMS) and National Response Plan (NRP). It enhances the knowledge and skills needed for clarifying roles, responsibilities, and relationships prior to a disaster through small-group and large-group exercises. The course stresses that fi nal coordination and operation structures are a matter for local governments to resolve in the planning process and to interface with the state and federal government, not-for-profi t organizations, and the private sector.

This course introduces students to the roles and responsibilities of the public health system in emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. Students will learn about the structure of public health in the United States and the tools that public health offi cials use to prepare for and respond to local, state, and federal emergencies. Selected topics include the relationship between public health organizations and local hospitals, traditional and nontraditional disease surveillance, isolation and quarantine, and emergency dispensing sites. Students will also examine the role of public health in conducting rapid needs assessments following sudden impact disasters and maintaining public health standards within displaced populations. Case studies, practical exercises, and computer applications will be used to examine these and other public health issues in emergency management. Prerequisite: Graduate status STCW: None

The focus in this course is on the security of the transportation systems, including surface, air, and maritime transportation. Ninety fi ve percent of all U.S. imports and exports are carried by sea aboard ships via hundreds of ports. From the ports, the cargo is then taken to thousands of destinations via air and land transportation modes (e.g., airline, truck, and rail), thus fueling the U.S. economic engine. These sea, air, and land transportation modes, with the port as their hub, make up the MTS. The MTS is critical to our national and economic security and signifi cant legislation and many national policy documents have been produced to secure the system from terrorism. What have we accomplished and will we succeed? To address these questions, the course will briefl y review current U.S. homeland security efforts. Students will then examine terrorist threats to the MTS and the legal and policy responses to those threats, including U.S. efforts to secure the global supply chain at sea and overseas. Prerequisite: Graduate status STCW: None
