One way I have found it possible to stay ahead of the curve is to always add additional material in training. This is referenced from studies and research within the last 5 to 10 years in the intersection of disaster which ever trading we’re talking about. This can be health, engineering, public administration, sociology, psychology, and other fields of discipline. Most mercy management training that comes from government agencies is often outdated by the time we receive it. There are more innovative training available at universities, non-government organizations, and even nonprofits. This is inclusive and not limited to universities and Institute of higher education.

To stay ahead of the curve in emergency procedure training, regularly update training materials based on the latest safety regulations, industry best practices, and real-life incident feedback. Incorporate simulations and scenario-based training to keep the content engaging. Stay informed by attending industry workshops, webinars, and collaborating with experts to ensure procedures reflect current threats and technologies. Additionally, gather feedback from trainees to continuously improve the training process.
