[Lori Peek]

Dear NHERI Council,

I am so excited to share with you this most recent CONVERGE Training Module, which is focused on perishable data collection in the aftermath of disaster. I hope that you will encourage members of your facility to please access the module. And you are all invited to join us for a brief demonstration webinar on August 6! More details are below!

Thank you so, so much!

CONVERGE Collecting and Sharing Perishable Data Training Module and Demonstration Webinar


The CONVERGE facility, headquartered at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, is so pleased to announce the release of the Collecting and Sharing Perishable Data Training Module<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules>. This module provides an overview of what perishable data is, how to ethically collect it, and why such data is vital for advancing hazards and disaster research. You can register and access the free module here: <http://converge-training.colorado.edu/courses/cultural-competence/> https://converge.colorado.edu/training-modules.


To learn more, please join us Friday, August 6, 2021, from 12:00-12:30 p.m. MDT for a live webinar where our team will provide a demonstration of the training module. To register for the upcoming webinar, please visit: https://converge.colorado.edu/communications/webinar-series/collecting-and-sharing-perishable-data-training-module-a-demonstration-webinar.


This new module is part of a larger series designed to accelerate the education of a diverse hazards and disaster workforce. The new module, like the others in the series, concludes with a 10-question quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, users receive a certificate, which is worth one contact hour of general management training<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/continuing-education-credits> through the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) certification program. These modules can be useful for classroom assignments as well as other activities. Please see the CONVERGE Annotated Bibliographies<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/annotated-bibliographies> for further reading and the Assignment Bank<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/assignment-bank> for sample assignments.
