The University of Richmond School of Continuing Studies now offers professional certification for emergency managers and business continuity professionals who focus on managing emergency operations during the response phase of a disaster.
Certification is based on a four-part, day-long examination that tests critical knowledge, the ability to analyse scenarios, decision making processes, work prioritisation skills, and teamwork in problem solving in the emergency operations centre or command post. Details on the Certified Crisis Operations Manager program are available from the Web site above.
In addition, Richmond's Emergency Services Management degree program now offers an electronic journal via the Web The Richmond Journal of the Emergency Services. The front material for the journal can also be viewed at the Web site above. Additional information about the journal and programme can be obtained from Walter G.
