| | | This course is for emergency managers, public works officials, levee district representatives, and others responsible for planning, preparing, and managing the response to a flood. Using a com-bination of lectures, discussions, activities, and exercises, the course will take participants through the complete process from well before the flood to clean-up afterwards. Officials from communities at risk of flood-ing should take this training. While this training emphasizes how to con-duct a flood fight, it provides information to help communities decide if a flood fight is possible and worth the effort and cost. Diagrams with ma-terials lists and equipment and labor requirements to construct various types of temporary flood protection can be used to help determine if there is enough time and resources to protect the community. If the whole community cannot be protected, then officials must decide where to concentrate their efforts to protect some areas and/or evacuate and relocate what they can. If a flood fight is undertaken, it should be done the right way or the effort will be wasted.

| EMA-G489 | G-489 Management of Spontaneous Volunteers in Disasters | In a disaster or/ emergency communities may expect large numbers of spontaneous volunteers to arrive at the disaster scene.
