Storm School is a high-level leadership preparation training program designed for emerging cross-sector leaders in disaster management.

This training course is part of the AHC's Storm School initiative, a high-level leadership preparation training program designed for emerging cross-sector leaders in disaster management and business continuity.

Sponsored by the AHC's newly formed Applied Operational Research Institute (ACHi), this overarching leadership training has been designed by experienced, nationally recognized operational leaders in the private sector to help new and emerging leaders in industry and government master the art of disaster management and business continuity based on real world experiences and practical perspectives gained only form 30+ years in the field.

Why Was Storm School Created?
Having the Title Without the Skills Is Not Enough!

FEMA deployed thousands of people to respond to multiple large-scale disasters in 2017 and 2018.


"....focus groups cited issues with personnel who were deemed “qualified” but didn’t have the skills to effectively perform their jobs, which affected disaster assistance."
