Fellows learn critical thinking approach to crisis management
|
Managing disasters or crises presents challenges that are anything but simple. A host of involved government and nongovernment actors, impacted populations that are often ethnically, politically and culturally diverse, and myriad interconnected processes can make planning, response and recovery actions overwhelmingly complex. Teaching security practitioners to work through this complexity by thinking systematically and strategically was the aim of the Feb. 11 to March 16 Comprehensive Crisis Management course (CCM 16-1) held at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. One hundred twenty Fellows from 38 locations took part in the course. Pictured are CCM 16-1 Fellows conferring during one of several CCM seminar sessions. To read more, click here.
