Emergency Management Operating System (EMOS) Training
Dates: October 26, 2007; March 28, 2008
Objective/Purpose: The Alberta Emergency Management Agency uses EMOS to coordinate activities in our operations centre. Many government emergency management agencies as well as some municipalities have purchased E-Team making it the most commonly used platform out there. The benefits of being able to co-ordinate multi-agency response using a common web based program are immense. The Alberta Emergency Management Agency offers training in two EMOS components, E-Team and Geomatics, to ensure that our partners are able to take their desk in our operations centre and get right to work during activation without being bogged down by unfamiliar software.
Target Audience: Is open to the Alberta Emergency Management Agency’s Consequence Management and Business Continuity Officers and Municipal Affairs and Housing Communications staff.
Location: Alberta Emergency Management Agency, 14515 – 122 Avenue, Edmonton
