Ontario College Ontario College Graduate Certificate in Emergency Management – Community Support and Preparedness

Centennial College of Applied Arts and Technology

Students in this program will use a multi-agency, systems level approach to examine government, NGO, Indigenous community and private sector interoperability considerations in emergency management. Through scenario and case study-based activities students will explore the five pillars of emergency management: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The Incident Management System (IMS), and International Association of Emergency Managers certifications will inform the program content, with graduates eligible to become members in both organizations. Students will be prepared to manage the multi-continuous phases of these five pillars using Critical incident command, Critical Infrastructure Management, and Critical Communications. Student examination of elements of business continuity will support risk management and mitigation for small- to mid-size enterprises (SMEs).
