State Emergency Management Staff Training and Evaluation

Abstract

This paper identifies critical needs for state-level emergency management agencies and new methods for generating an agency mission essential task list for staff training and training evaluation. The author seeks a solution by examining the adaptation of existing training processes used within the Department of Defense by agencies within the Department of Homeland Security. The solutions offered will allow state-level emergency management agencies to formulate a synergistic training strategy and to effectively assess staff training. Recommendations include the application of an analytical hierarchy process to quantify the evaluation of staff training and estimate the return on investment of staff training.
