Although there is no pre-requisite for the course, it is recommended that registrants for this class have successfully completed a 40-hour formal basic instructor-led telecommunicator training program.
This course serves to educate the public safety telecommunicator in Canada on a wide range of man-made and natural disasters, their effects on the community and its infrastructure and the response and recovery needs for each. In addition, this course provides telecommunicators with information on overall emergency management, Canada’s National Disaster Mitigation Strategy and guidance on continuity of operations for the communications center in the face of a multitude of disaster situations.

There is a defined role for public safety communications in every element of disaster response and recovery. As public safety’s ability and need to address disaster situations evolve, the telecommunicator needs to be familiar with all types of disasters and how those events can impact the communications function.
