This Building Resiliency in Extended Events workshop series aims to help participants support resilience through individual and workforce strategies to manage stressors induced by prolonged emergencies.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
– Define resilience, and explain why building resilience during an extended event is different from building resilience during a single disaster
– List the six domains in which stress manifests during and after an extended incident
– Describe the signs of physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, spiritual, and social stress
– Identify strategies to mediate, prevent, and manage stressors and promote resilience in prolonged events
