Course Overview
Large-scale public safety incidents—such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, mass gatherings, pandemics, and industrial accidents—require well-structured planning and seamless coordination between agencies and communities. Without strong leadership and collaboration, such incidents can overwhelm systems and compromise public safety.
