Practicum Activities
CDM Advisory Board
In 2003, then UCM President Bobby Patton officially recognized the Cri-sis and Disaster Management Advisory Board. This board provides re-view, support, and advise to develop and maintain the program at UCM as a high quality academic preparation for professionals with emergency management responsibilities. Members of the Advisory Board were nominated by faculty, alumni, and emergency management profession-als. The Board developed and approved by-laws that guide their opera-tions, and meets two times a year. The CDM program benefits from the involvement of an outstanding group of professionals from a broad base of public and private sector organizations that possess diverse academic backgrounds and experience.
More information about the Advisory Board members is being added to the CDM webpage. There are currently nine members.
Sean Cook worked 300 hours for 6 hours of credit over the Summer/Fall semester. For Summer, Sean completed his practicum hours with the Springfield-Greene County Missouri Office of Emergency Management. During that time Sean completed a tabletop exercise and after action report, developed CERT/CART team documents and assisted with depart-mental general operations. For Fall, Sean com-pleted his practicum hours with the City of Springfield Missouri’s Information Systems De-partment. During that time Sean participated in meetings with the Cyber Security Awareness Committee for the City of Springfield and be-came a member. He also completed an Emer-gency Operations plan/Emergency Action plan, Incident Action plan and a Continuity of Opera-tions plan.
Justin Coulter completed his practicum work with Northwest Missouri Emergency Re-sponse Planner out of Maryville, MO. Justin participated in five different tabletop exercises covering a variety of scenarios including ebola, healthcare recovery and exposure to anhy-drous. Justin also participated in meetings with community and organizational leaders on im-plementation, adjusting or relocating a Point of Distribution (POD) in a community. Justin also spent time in the office assisting with a variety of managerial duties.
