With earthquakes in North Carolina and Nevada, the annual US western wildfire season starting now, and the annual hurricane season out east, I'm reminded of the role civil engineers routinely play in assisting with disaster recovery. I recall there being some sort of certification process available through FEMA or ASCE. This provides some type of credential which shows the holder has been through safety, administrative, and technical training, and has understanding of what to do. There was some on-line course offered once or twice a year, in fact.
Does anyone know what this might be called and how to get more information about it? I'm not asking about helping out financially, but rather, through my experience and knowledge.
