CARE
Emergency Curriculum
Welcome
to the new CARE Emergency Curriculum developed to support CAREs emergency response
and preparedness strategy. With three levels, the
curriculum begins with the most basic knowledge required
during an emergency response, progressing to critical
leadership and management skills and then to specialized
technical areas of expertise.
The
curriculum is organized in the following three categories:
- Level I: Basic Core
Knowledge and Foundation - Designed for all staff; a priority for staff who
participate in emergency response.
Two on-line foundational courses available now include:
- Introduction to Emergency Preparedness
Planning - Course 1: A course recommended to all
CARE staff members that want and need to learn
more about emergency planning. It is a required
course for the members of the country office emergency
response teams (ERT), and a pre-requisite for
the second course below. Time: 1.5 hours. Beta version.
- Level II: Emergency
Operations - Builds critical leadership and management skills;
designed for staff who are a part of emergency preparedness
and response operations.
- Creating the Emergency Preparedness
Plan - Course 2: This course is designed to
be taken by ERT members as a group. It is designed
as a tool to help the team work through the EPP
process together and complete the written emergency
preparedness plan. Time: approximately 3.5 hours.
Not designed to be completed all at once. Instead,
it is a tool that should be used over an extended
period of time. Beta Version
- Level III: Specialization - Builds specialized areas of expertise; primarily
offered by external organizations.
