Major Emergency Management Initial Response Training

Aim & Objective (Overview)
MEMIR Training provides personnel with formal training in command, control, communications and stress-related factors in the management of major

a) Understand the key factors of preparing for, responding to, and maintaining control throughout the development or escalation of an emergency situation.

has been raised, to the point when the emergency manager is assured that the emergency is over.
c) Understand how stress can impact on individuals and team performance during emergencies.
