You are invited to join the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) summer training course which will be delivered virtually via Zoom. The 2.5-day course, hosted Monday, August 3 – Wednesday, August 5, 2020 will provide training on communications and outreach strategies related to the Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning Program (Risk MAP).

This course will focus on Communication and Outreach Topics, with a special focus on the emerging field of Community-Based Social Marketing (CBSM). The CBSM session/workshop will be led by the CBSM founder and world-renowned Psychologist, Dr. McKenzie-Mohr (bio), and will focus on innovative approaches to overcoming barriers to increase mitigation at the local level.

The deadline for registration is Friday, July 24, 2020. Admission spots are limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis, so candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

To apply, you must work for an organization that is currently a CTP. If your organization is interested in becoming a CTP, please reach out to your Regional FEMA office.
