TOP REVIEWS FROM COMMUNICATING DURING GLOBAL EMERGENCIES
Very informative for organization as well as for people who want to serve the communities during Global Emergencies.
Great content and presentations. Very useful information for anyone with crisis communication responsibilities.
I enjoyed this taking this course and found the information to be useful in any emergency, not just global ones. I have already begun using some the techniques and they have proven to be helpful.
It's rather quick and effective to learn the basics of communication in emergency. It could have been more interactive and the activities less repetitive (video and handouts). Overall satisfied!
