“It’s not a matter of ‘if’ disaster strikes an organization or community; it’s a matter of ‘when.’ This career pathway program prepares participants to facilitate emergency planning in the private, public or nonprofit sector.”
David Harrison - BEPP Program Advisor, Emergency Preparedness Manager, City of Carlsbad
Program Overview
The purpose of the Professional Certificate in Business Emergency Preparedness Planning (BEPP) is to provide businesses and organizations with the information needed to develop and implement
