Educational Project DriversEducational Project Drivers

Public Law 109-42 (Congress, 2006)

• Promote and improve community outreach and education

• Implementation of technical training and public education programs


Educational Project DriversEducational Project DriversStrategic Implementation Plan for Tsunami Mitigation Projects (Dengler, 1998)

Why Education is essential to Mitigation:

•Individuals must be able to take appropriate action on their own

•Inadequacy of the technical information available

•Information about tsunamis is highly technical and not easily accessible to emergency managers, local decision makers, and the public

George Crawford

I would break these down into bullets and show only main points


GoalsGoals

• M&E Subcommittee develop and adopt NTHMP Educational Standards

•Provide all tsunami communities with Public Education that meets NTHMP Educational Standards

•Ensure all TsunamiReady Communities meet NTHMP Public education standards

George Crawford

I modified this because education is just part of the criteria to become TsunamiReady -- meeting educational standards does not ensure they become tsunami ready


ObjectivesObjectives

• Focus on NTHMP Strategic Plan Educational Performance Measures

• Utilize NTHMP educational infrastructure – State, Territory, and Commonwealth (STC) and TsunamiReady Program

• Engage STC expertise and talent – especially professional Emergency Managers and Scientists


Implementation GoalImplementation Goal

• Establish Train the Trainer Programs (T3) to graduate qualified Tsunami Public Education Instructors

• Instructors teach Community-specific Tsunami Education Workshops

OPTIMUM

George Crawford

Show all positions - you have Optimum and I would stress that -- they have options to reduce or keep based on funding environment

George Crawford

I would take cost out unless you are willing to defend - you have the buget and would let it go - if they ask then bring it up
