This course is designed to prepare individuals who may be directly affected by a disaster help themselves, their family and other community members. Participants will learn how to develop a family preparedness plan, practice self-rescue, perform search and light rescue techniques, and understand the recovery process.
The target audience encompasses the whole community approach, including, but not restricted to: Church Groups, Volunteer Fire Departments, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Youth Groups, American Red Cross (ARC), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and members of the general community who may find themselves in the impact zone of an incident and in the absence of emergency responders. This training does not qualify the participants to serve in an emergency responder role.
