FREE Course > Crisis Emergency Risk Communication

CDC just put this out. I am a huge proponent of Risk Communication. CDC's Training website, is hard to navigate thru.  You have to register first.  So pick a user ID and Password, then proceed.  You have to muddle thru it unfortunately.  But it is worth it.  This is a great course.

CERC Online (Web-Based)
Course Number: WB1138

This course will cover the fundamentals of Crisis Emergency Risk Communication (CERC). It is the online version of the classroom course. It contains downloadable job aids and the manual used in the classroom. It includes the video clips used to enhance learning in the classroom and the opportunity to practice the concepts online.
Course Link

TARGET AUDIENCE: This course is open to everyone although it was designed for CDC staff and the public health community. It will be particularly valuable to those people charged with the crisis and emergency risk communication.

MATERIALS: For additional information, contact the CDC Office of Enterprise Communication at either email CERCinfocdc.gov or CERCrequestcdc.gov.

Video> COL Mark Tillman, Air Force One Pilot on 9/11

Video of a talk given by Air Force COL Mark Tillman, who was the pilot of Air Force One on 9/11.  He discusses what happened that day and also gives a fascinating description of how he covertly flew President Bush into Baghdad for Thanksgiving while limiting knowledge of the mission to only five people.  The video presentation is 22 minutes in length, but it's very interesting because it gives you an inside look into the whole operation of Air Force One.  Video takes a minute to load, be patient.
