SoM Disaster-Related Education and Training

The Office of Emergency Management, directed by Howard Gwon, will begin its educational sessions for 2007 in March and will continue its sessions through October for departmental disaster coordinators and their respective management team members.

These sessions, scheduled to take place monthly in 1-191 Meyer, will include updates on existing policies and also introduce new policies and procedures to enhance Hopkins' response to disasters and major crises on the East Baltimore campus. The primary focus is to make each of the sessions interactive and applicable to disaster coordinators, managers and supervisors.

To help the Office of Emergency Management meet its objective, forward any questions or areas of interest to hgwon@jhmi.edu or chalko@jhmi.edu.
