The training program for participants from the Emergency Medicine and Support Center in Washington, D.C. began with a lecture by Mr. Anthony Hammer Quest from Georgetown University titled “Global Conflicts: Wars and Disasters.”
Mr. Hammer Quest is one of the leading U.S. experts in national security and crisis management, having held senior positions in New York State and played a key role in shaping national policies for responding to security crises, natural disasters, and biological threats.
The program also included a field visit to (DCHSEMA), where participants were introduced to the agency’s mechanisms for coordinating disaster and emergency responses at both the local and federal levels.
