This course covers planning awareness and coordination, with actual response actions governed by local authorities, approved procedures, and appropriate training.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Create a workplace preparedness checklist and a tabletop-exercise brief for a fictional scenario.

Scope of This Course: This awareness course does not replace site-specific training, licensed professional advice, emergency services, or legally required certification. Practical system changes and response actions require appropriate authorization.
