    Major Emergency Management Initial Response (MEMIR) - OPITO

    Course Objective

    • Following a short period of classroom study, the delegates enter a command center simulator in which they will each experience, at least once in the role of emergency manager (EM), the Realism of several major events. Tabletop discussions of some of the generic emergency scenarios will prepare the delegates for the exercises; in other cases, they are given an emergency scenario without any prior knowledge. A post-exercise debrief will be held where an appraiser will comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual and the team's performance.
    • Following the training and validation, the delegates will receive a Major Emergency Management Initial Response training certificate approved by OPITO and a written analysis of any gaps that exist in the delegate's current managerial knowledge and capabilities for commanding the response to a major emergency.
    The following points shall be discussed in the course:
    • Review, manage, and assess the information available in an emergency situation in a timely manner
    • Establish priorities and take effective action
    • Implement predetermined emergency plans and procedures in the context of the current emergency
    • Efficiently communicate information and instructions
    • Keeping appropriate agencies informed through the support ERT
    • Monitor and control resources
    • Evaluate progress and communicate changes in plans and priorities
    • Effectively delegate authority and manage individuals and teams
