To enhance the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme (WHE) response capability, WHE proposed the development of a series of training packages to build staff competencies, skills and knowledge, to enhance deployment and response capability. Tier 1 covers the mandatory minimum package that all personnel being deployed on a WHO health emergency response must complete. It includes four animated online modules covering an introduction to emergency management, WHO’s role in emergencies, the emergency response framework and the incident management system.

Please note: This course was developed in 2017. For the latest updates, please refer to the latest version of the WHO Emergency Response Framework (ERF) Edition 2.1 on the WHO website. A new OpenWHO course is available to reflect the latest changes made to the ERF: you can access it here.

Overview: The course is designed as an interactive learning experience, built around individual learning modules. Students will be expected to actively engage in all online sessions and immerse themselves in the course content. All sessions are geared towards enabling the staff to be able to work with and within the new WHE programme and to build their understanding and confidence in the basic concepts and theory. The course content is split into four learning modules, with each module covering a key aspect of the WHE approach to emergency management. The training content is limited to an overview and introductory level of knowledge, required as part of your role within WHE programme. A post-course knowledge check is mandatory, to ensure that all participants have a minimum level of knowledge on completion of the course.

Learning objective: Gain a foundational understanding of the Incident Management System (IMS) structure and its procedures.

Course duration: Approximately 3 hours.

Certificates: No certificate available at this time.
