LEARNING OUTCOMES

The delegate’s learning outcomes are specified below:

To successfully complete this training, delegates will be able to practice:

• 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.
• Communicate effectively with all appropriate external agencies in accordance with local arrangements, guidance documents and legislation.
• Monitor and control resources.
• Evaluate progress and communicate changes in plans and priorities.
• Effectively delegate authority and manage individuals and teams.
• Recognize and deal with stress in themselves and others.

As a minimum, each delegate must role-play the Emergency Manager (EM) in at least two of the emergency scenario simulations. Evaluation of delegates will be by continuous observation of their performance during their tenure(s) as EM, each based around 2 different types of major incidents chosen from the list below:

• Type A - a major emergency that is readily controllable if managed appropriately.
• Type B - a major emergency which could escalate if not controlled.
• Type C - a major emergency that the EM is unable to control leading to a full evacuation of the facility.

• The target group for Major Emergency Management Initial Response (MEMIR) training is personnel who are either designated as being in charge of, are members of, or provide support to an emergency management team in an emergency.
