You never know when you might be confronted with an emergency situation, particularly if you live in an area with frequent earthquakes or sudden shifts in weather. In some situations, the emergency may lock you down in your house for a number of days; in others, you may be forced to evict your home for an undetermined period of time. Regardless, disaster preparedness training is an important skill to have, both for professional rescuers and for the average citizen. Read below to find out what you should know about disaster preparedness training.
Where Can I Get Trained?
If you want to undergo disaster preparedness training, there are several options you can choose. For professional rescuers and various employees that need a disaster preparedness certificate, the easiest way of obtaining one is by contacting a training company that offers this type of class. Most disaster preparedness training courses require participants to take an exam at the end in order to be eligible for a certificate.
If you do not require a certificate, you can simply access the dozens of free online resources hosted by various governmental websites. These resources will teach you everything you need to know, from surviving a tornado or a flood to winter safety tips.
Who Needs To Be Trained?
Ideally, every single home owner should undergo some type of disaster preparedness training, even if it only means reading some online resources. Even if you don�t live in a disaster-prone area, it is always better to think ahead and make a thorough plan in case the unimaginable occurs.
Professional disaster preparedness programs have been designed especially for people working as rescuers, first responders, medical professionals, firefighters, policemen, or any other type of worker who is usually involved in emergency rescue.
Basic Principles in Disaster Preparedness
The most important principle on which disaster preparedness training is founded on is mitigation. Mitigation represents the sum of efforts taken in an attempt to reduce financial and human loss if, and when, a disaster occurs. Proper mitigation practices involve several steps aimed to improve home and business protection.
Protection involves both the prevention of financial loss, which can be achieved through proper insurances, and of structural loss, which can be obtained by reinforcing infrastructure, technical inspections, flood proofing, and so on.
Human loss prevention is best achieved by organizing emergency exists, laying down disaster plans, and by providing general information on how to act in case of a disaster to all family members. Additionally, homeowners with pets can also place rescue alert stickers in a visible spot, so as to make rescue teams aware of this.
Disaster preparedness training is a vital skill to have, not only to professional rescuers, but also to the average citizens. It is also better to prevent than to treat, so make sure you take this type of course into account. If you have the time and the money, you are more than welcome to join a professional course. If not, there are numerous of pertinent advice and resources that can help you with emergency preparedness all over the Internet.
