Course on Team Resource Management for Disaster Response
Developing essential skills for challenging scenarios.
This course applies the principles of good teamwork to crisis situations, to ensure that teams can effectively perform also in extreme conditions, stressful and with considerable uncertainty. The critical team competences in disaster response are the capability to prepare in advance and to adapt in real-time to a dynamic environment.To train these capabilities, we designed an experience-driven programme that challenges participants to collaborate in teams and face demanding situations.
The training is supported by a serious game about disaster management and/or by a computer simulation of a space mission. Both activities are designed to foster the improvement of communication, teamwork, situational awareness, problem-solving and decision-making. Wrap-up sessions facilitate the transfer of effective behaviours to everyday work life.
