Solving increasingly frequent and complex public crises need crisis information management professionals.iSchools in North America have rich experience and a mature system of training talents in crisis information management,which can provide reference for Chinese iSchools to implement crisis informatics instructions.This paper reviewed existing studies in the literature,investigated online information provided by iSchools in North America,summarized the crisis informatics course model of iSchools in North America,and analyzed its instruction system from the following perspectives:teaching objectives,course content,instruction mechanisms,course outcomes,human resources in teaching,and graduate employment rate.Given the demand for crisis information management talents in China and the lack of relative education mechanism,this paper proposes suggestions such as seizing the opportunity of discipline reform and implementing crisis information management instruction,overcoming disciplinary barriers and promoting the cooperation of multiple stakeholders,responding to multi-dimensional needs,enriching the education system and teaching forms,paying attention to the combination of theories and practices,and establishing a comprehensive teaching and outcomes assessment mechanism.
