The course encompasses knowledge of the specific agencies, organizations, and individual behaviors in emergency management as well as the interlinking partnerships between\/among these groups. Areas of discussion include: responsibilities at federal, state, community and individual levels; guidelines and procedures for operations and compliance such as the National response Plan; Incident Command Systems (ICS); exercises; plan development, command, and control; communication; partnership development and maintenance; leadership; and numerous other elements related to effective emergency management. The unique and critical roles of private and public partnerships are reviewed and particular attention is paid to the interplay and interdependency among national, state, community, business (public and private), and the individual. 4cr.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">MET<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">AD<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">613<\/span><\/span> Enterprise Risk Planning and Compliance<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\">Fall and Spring<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        \n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">Prereq: MET AD610 - Students are exposed to the important issues relating to corporate and organizational security and risk from both the perspective of systems designed to protect against disasters and aspects of emergency preparedness should systems fail. Engineering science is applied to security areas that include information technology, terrorism, and other organization disruptions. Students study proactive risk assessment through analytical risk analysis techniques and simulations. Students will be able to design a company or agency global assurance plan, organize the strategy to make the plan operational, and implement control measures to assess the plan's degree of success. The course also provides explanations of legal\/regulatory, auditing, and industry- specific requirements related to compliance, control, and reporting issue sin business risk management. The role of establishing and maintaining standards by local, national, and international agencies is discussed, as is the importance of these agencies in certifying operations.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section A1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 20th to Apr 30th<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Spellacy<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">M<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">06:00:00 PM&ndash;08:45:00 PM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=CAS\">CAS 201<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><div class=\"responsive-table cf-section-wrapper\">\n<table class=\"cf-table\">\n\t<caption class=\"cf-section-title\">Section O1, SPRG 2026 <span class=\"cf-section-dates\">Jan 13th to Mar 2nd<\/span><\/caption>\n\t<thead class=\"cf-section-header\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-instructortitle\">Instructor<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-typetitle\">Type<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-daytitle\">Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-timestitle\">Times<\/th>\n\t\t\t<th class=\"cf-section-locationtitle\">Location<\/th>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr class=\"cf-section-item\">\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-instructor\">Jennings<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-type\">Independent<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-day\">ARR<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-start\">12:00:00 AM&ndash;12:00:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td class=\"cf-section-location\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/maps\/?search=\"> <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">MET<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">AD<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">614<\/span><\/span> Disaster Management<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\">Fall and Spring<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        \n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">Prerequisite: MET AD617 -This course takes concepts covered in MET AD617 and applies them in more detail mainly to the corporate-private sector environment.

The course will focus on disaster recovery, an absolutely essential but sometimes overlooked component of any successful corporate recovery program. Here, the emphasis is on technology recovery. This includes reviewing the key components of the IT infrastructure; how these components are accounted for in the response and recovery processes; and some best practices in technology recovery modelling.
