For organizations, we customize our programs to align your talent and workforce needs with your business objectives which is critical for achieving a sustainable competitive advantage.
“During the 2015 FEMA Higher Education Symposium, interest was expressed for a systematic and comprehensive look at emergency management core competencies for the next generation.Therefore, the FEMA Higher Education Program supported the education community’s process of updating the emergency management core competencies, developed by Dr. Wayne Blanchard in 2005, by sponsoring a focus group of regionally diverse educators.
The charge given to the group was to draft competencies for 2030 and beyond, and conduct a Delphi study for refinement and ratification of the updated competencies. In 2017, FEMA published The Next Generation Core Competencies for Emergency Management Professionals: Handbook of Behavioral Anchors and Key Actions for Measurement:
Feldmann-Jensen, S., Jensen, S.J., Maxwell Smith, S., (2017). The Next Generation Core Competencies for Emergency Management Professionals: Handbook of Behavioral Anchors and Key Actions for Measurement. FEMA Emergency Management Institute Higher Education Program, Emmitsburg, MD.
Feldmann-Jensen, S., Jensen, S.J., Maxwell Smith, S., and Vigneaux, G., (2019). The Next Generation Core Competencies for
Emergency Management. Journal of Emergency Management, Vol. 17 No. 1.
In 2017/2018 Public Safety Canada developed a working group to explore emergency management competencies for the profession of emergency management. While the working group met and discussed adoption of core competencies, Public Safety Canada did not dedicate the required resources needed to continue the project. The working group essentially dissolved.
Hazardscape understands that much more work needs to be done before emergency management professionals adopt a common set of core competencies. But that does not mean we can’t get started.
Hazardscape Management’s Learning & Development Competency Model
Hazardscape’s All Hazards Coaching programs are aligned to the 2017 next generation core competencies:
Building the Individual

Building Relationships
Within the three overarching themes there are several competencies. Using a coach approach, Hazardscape develops emergency management teams and leaders in each competency using a learning experience that includes coaching, trying, reflecting, and sharing.
Coach
We engage you through inquiry based non-directive All Hazards Coaching combined with expertise and activities. Our coaching sessions are designed for individuals, groups, and teams.

Try
To use the skills and knowledge you already have, you need to try them out. In between coaching sessions you will perform activities that will give you an opportunity to try out new behaviors, within the context of your role.
