G271: Hazardous Weather and Flood Preparedness (2-day course).

Monday, September 14^th – Tuesday September 15th.  8:00 am – 5:00 pm (MST).

This is an SDEMA course.

This course was developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and FEMA staff with input and assistance from many State and local emergency managers.

It is intended to help promote more proactive responses to weather and flood hazards through close coordination between emergency management and NWS.

Since the United States experiences more severe weather than any other country, emergency managers need to know:

• How the basic elements of weather can combine to create potential hazards in their areas;
• What information is available and how it can be obtained;
• How to analyze the information on developing threats and how to project potential impacts; and
• How to determine when actions need to be initiated to meet developing threats.

No prerequisites required for this course.
