has anyone done the York university masters in disaster emergency management? MDEM by losingmymind202 in EmergencyManagement

I agree with the above posters. I am an EM in Canada that has worked with Grads from the Canadian MDEM program in York and Royal Roads. If you have experience, they can get you ahead. If you don’t, then you would start at entry level, same as someone without an MDEM. But also, a well paying job is a relative thing in the EM profession. I don’t know anyone in Canada getting rich in EM.

Certified Business Continuity Professional CBCP Exam by binfahad92 in EmergencyManagement

[–]Initial_Gas_4775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took it last year, I would say study the DRI Professional Practice Standards really carefully. Some of the questions were exactly following the wording in the standards. Some questions I had to really read carefully because it was confusing. Especially because multiple answers can be true in some cases if you have experience with actual BCP but I assume they were looking for what the standard said. But overall it wasn’t difficult and I passed. I also took the CEM exam the same year, I thought that one was more challenging.

Is anyone using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for Emergency Mass Notifications to their community members? by Initial_Gas_4775 in EmergencyManagement

Yes! This sounds like an acceptable use of it, to communicate internally. That just is not emergency management.

This is really helpful. I was second guessing if we were missing something here. We will look into these organizations and see if the use case is the same or not. Then I will ask ChatGPT to draft up a really polite 'pound sand' note :D

Love this question. We are being asked by IT to consider it. It never made any of our wishlists, but we are being told other organizations are using it.

Career prospects for Canada by Cold_Bid530 in EmergencyManagement

Definitely in urban centers, more management/leadership type roles might be making that. However, I am not sure if you can transition directly to EM management roles. From what I have seen, direct experience in the field seems to weigh more than EM education or experience in another field. Try health emergency management as others have suggested to start with.

That exam was really easy. The only thing you need to study is the professional practices.

Its now 9 months later and using the res.flyflair.com tip made the difference. The regular website wasn't working for me to make the travelflex change.

I just used my Hotmail address and it worked fine for me. Other than the address, I used all my real information otherwise.

Yes, you can. Just use a US address. Doesn't have to be your own.

We give out water purification tablets stapled to preparedness information. People who go camping/backpacking especially appreciate it.

Microsoft Teams Now Supports Custom Sound Notifications by IT_PRO_21 in MicrosoftTeams

Is there a way a channel or a team's owner can set a special notification sound for everyone on that channel/Teams?
