Emergency Management Team
(EMT)
Course Outline / Target Group
The course will provide Learners with formal training in the strategy, tactics, command and control, communications and coordination elements used in the management of major emergencies.
The course is designed for personnel who fill the Emergency Coordinator (EC) or Incident Controller (IC) role, traditionally referred to as the ‘Duty Manager’, whose responsibilities include the support of any ‘site’ should they have an emergency incident, and is based on the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS). The EC will be supported by an ‘Emergency Management Team’ (EMT), and the course is also designed for personnel who form part of that team who might be expected to take over the EC role in the event of unexpected absence or sickness.
