Disaster
Mitigation and Preparation; Sustainable Development in Ile-a-Vache, Haiti
–Working Across the Curriculum – Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s Emergency
Management Program’s Cooperative Education Model
By Prof. Thomas
F. Lennon, Massachusetts Maritime Academy
In January 2010,
Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) initiated a cooperative education program
through its Emergency Management major for students interested in international
relief and disaster assistance. The
location – Haiti!! MMA partnered with the EDEM Foundation, a Haiti-based
non-governmental organization, to support a program focused on sustainable
development issues for the small island community of Ile-a-Vache, Haiti. How
was the program developed? How do you establish the relationships required to
sustain a vigorous international undergraduate cooperative education program?
What are the program goals and how do you critically evaluate both the program
and student performance? What about institutional support? These and more questions will be answered in
Prof. Lennon’s presentation.
Engaging
Students in Disaster Relief Training Exercises
By Dr. John
Fisher, Utah Valley University
For 5 years
emergency services students have been involved in disaster relief exercises in
the United States and Macedonia. What
learning outcomes have resulted from these exercises? What have students learned by participating
in these exercises? Have students honed
or developed skills that are readily transferable to “real world” response? In
this case study presentation, Dr. Fisher describes how students have developed
emergency response capabilities through practical application of knowledge in
simulated incidents. Join us to learn one more way for students to obtain
needed experience in emergency management.
