Description

Preparation and skilled response are absolutely critical in all aspects of emergency preparedness. In our increasingly uncertain world, man-made and natural disasters pose significant challenges. The maritime industry must ensure that leaders are not only equipped to identify potential hazards but also to effectively mitigate risks and respond promptly and efficiently in times of crisis. Shipyards, in particular, experience a multitude of high-risk operations and logistical complexities, making it all the more pertinent for preparedness plans to ensure seamless and efficient responses.

  • Understand the importance of emergency preparedness, effective training/drilling and fire brigades
  • Understand tiered response and communication reporting, modeled after Homeland Security’s Emergency Communication’s Division.
  • Understand the emergency response struggles shipyards may face and combat them upfront
