SUPERINTENDENT Hj Janaidi Hj Gunong, a top-level officer at the Fire and Rescue Department, has successfully completed a Comprehensive Crisis Management (CCM) course, The Brunei Times learned yesterday.
Hj Janaidi was among 77 senior military and civilian leaders from 42 countries and territories, most located in the Asia-Pacific region, attending a four-week course to study regional crisis management issues at the Asia-Pacific Centre for Security Studies (APCSS) in Honolulu, Hawaii.
During the course, participants focused on crisis assessments and condition setting, transitions across the prevent-prepare-respond cycle as well as during and post-crisis reconstruction.
In addition to this conceptual framework, the CCM course also addresses CCM-task coalition building and operations, inter-agency coordination, stability trends analysis, preventive activities as well as international interventions, post-emergency reconstruction, transition shaping, and strategic communications.
The course curriculum is generally divided into three major blocks. Framing the CCM problem, elements of stability and making collaborative CCM operations work.
In May 2008, Hj Janaidi was despatched to Myanmar to help with recovery efforts following the devastation of Cyclone Nargis as a Brunei representative in the Asean Emergency Rapid Assessment Team.
The APCSS is a US Department of defence regional study, conference and research center.
The center’s mission is to educate, connect, and empower security practitioners to advance Asia-Pacific security. Since opening in 1995 APCSS has had representatives from 72 countries and four international organisations attend the courses at the centre for a total of 4,799 alumni.
