Dear NHERI Colleagues:



I am so pleased to announce the release of our latest CONVERGE Training Module<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules>. This one is focused on Indigenous Sovereignty in Disasters. Please check out and share this free resource through your networks. Also, note that we have an upcoming 30 minute demonstration webinar that you are invited to join. More information below, and thank you for all you do!





CONVERGE Indigenous Sovereignty in Disasters 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 Indigenous Sovereignty in Disasters Training Module<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/news/2024/january/nheri-converge-releases-12th-training-module-indigenous-sovereignty/>. This module focuses on how settler colonialism impacts vulnerability to hazards among Indigenous Peoples and how Indigenous sovereignty-or the right of Indigenous Peoples to govern themselves-can help build disaster resilience. 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 Tuesday, February 6, 2024, from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. MST 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-indigenous-sovereignty-in-disasters-training-module-a-demonstration-webinar/



This new module is part of a larger series of foundational and advanced trainings that are 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 Assignment Bank<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/assignment-bank/> for sample assignments and the CONVERGE Annotated Bibliographies<https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/training-modules/annotated-bibliographies> for further readings.
