Political and Policy Basis of Emergency Management Course Revision Project Open Season
Dr. Richard Sylves, University of Delaware, has now completed a complete first draft of his revision to the EM Hi-Ed College Course “The Political and Policy Basis of Emergency Management.” (Dr. Sylves is the author of the original “Political and Policy Basis” course, which was one of the first college courses developed via contract for the FEMA EM Hi-Ed Program.) This course examines modern laws, programs, agencies, and institutions involved in U.S. disaster policy and emergency management.
The draft revised course will be open for an approximately 30-day public comment period beginning September 17, 2009 and concluding October 16, 2009. The draft course material can be accessed at: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/edu/polpolbasis.asp
