Public works and transportation departments need to be prepared to respond, and in some cases, actually take command, when damaged or failed infrastructure is the cause or result of a traffic incident. It is vital that public works agencies understand their evolving roles and responsibilities for Traffic Incident Management. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Acquire a better understanding of the role of Public Works in Traffic Incident Management and how that serves as a foundation for all-hazards emergency functions

2.     Participate in all phases of emergency management as a full and equal partner with other responder disciplines.

3.     Establish stronger working relationships with other first responder disciplines in order to develop the protocols and policies for effective performance under Incident Command and Unified Command.
