About MGT487:

This instructor-led, management-level training will provide an overview of the disaster sheltering, evacuation, and relocation processes. This course looks at the roles and responsibilities of preparedness and response partners in carrying out sheltering, evacuation, and relocation operations. Recent disasters have highlighted the need for extensive sheltering and evacuation planning. What happens when a disaster lasts for an extended period, and disaster survivors need to be relocated or need disaster housing? This course will review these areas and provide information on how to plan for operations within your community.

By the end of this course, all participants will be able to fulfill the following learning objectives:

1. Describe the roles and responsibilities of federal, state, local, tribal, territorial governments in relation to evacuation, sheltering, and relocation.
2. Analyze the ways in which Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) are established and administered at shelters for mass care activities with partners.
3. Appraise how shelter support services, such as social case workers and human services, can help disaster survivors to relocate to an interim housing solution.
