Visual Risk Technologies provides 14 days of on-site training and installation as part of The Stafford Act Solution Package to ensure the emergency manager’s ability to use the software tools to produce the mitigation plans as well as to ensure that the emergency manager is able to plan and respond to a variety of incidents.

• VRiskMAP™ Training – During VRiskMAP™ training, we focus on teaching and developing the basic skills necessary to create maps, define hazard impact areas, produce reports of critical locations and JPEG maps for printing and distributing.  We allocate time to work with locally produced databases or to develop new databases required by the organization.

• MitigationPlan.com Training – We do all MitigationPlan.com training directly on the Internet, so that we create the actual plan as the user learns to navigate the system.  As the user learns to use the website, we enter current data about the community, hazards and the mitigation goals and projects. At the end of the training, we print a plan to share with others. and we begin the public participation process.

• Train-the-Trainer – As with the standard MitigationPlan.com training, we train mitigation planners to become trainers within their jurisdictions. We conduct these train-the-trainer sessions directly on the Internet, with emphasis placed on using the tools and functionality of the web site so that the emergency manager can create a plan at a later time.

• Group Workshops – We can arrange special mitigation workshops for planners from multiple jurisdictions to come together in one central location to begin work on their individual plans.  We conduct a group training session over the Internet during which all attendees work on their own plans. Concurrently they communicate with each other about specific issues and interpretations.

We also offer consulting expertise on the mitigation planning process. Based on the requirements of the individual emergency planner, we can conduct the basic training or we can work closely with the planners to assist in the complete preparation of the final plan.
