CONVERGE Public Health Implications of Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module and Demonstration Webinar


The Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) CONVERGE facility, headquartered at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, is so pleased to announce the release of the Public Health Implications of Hazards and Disaster Research Training Module<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2022/april/new-converge-training-module-public-health-implications/>. This module offers original content and a number of case studies to illustrate the relationship between public health and hazards and disaster research. It also emphasizes how this research can help improve the health of disaster-affected people and communities. 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, April 29th, from 1:30-2:00 p.m. MT 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/webinars/converge-public-health-implications-of-hazards-and-disaster-research-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 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.
