The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness along with the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management will be sponsoring deliveries of a one-day training course
titled, Natural Disaster Awareness for Caregivers (AWR-308). The National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC) at the University of Hawaii, a member of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), will be instructing the DHS approved training
course. There is no cost to attend this course.
This course provides healthcare professionals, emergency medical services, and citizen/community volunteers involved with the care giving of individuals with medical, functional,
or access needs with a basic understanding of natural hazards, risk, vulnerability, and disaster preparedness. This course will familiarize participants with the science of natural hazards, best practices associated with personal disaster preparedness, and
disaster preparedness considerations for those with access and functional needs. Participants will be introduced to all three categories of hazards, but course instruction will focus on those natural hazards relevant to participants’ local area. Participants
will also be introduced to best practices for personal preparedness prior to a disaster and encouraged to discuss plans and actions that they have already taken.
This is an awareness-level course designed to prepare caregivers for the impacts of local natural disasters, identify methods for assisting care receivers to prepare for natural
disasters, and identify appropriate preparedness actions to take during a disaster. Target disciplines include: Emergency Managers, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Service, Citizens/Community Volunteers, Public Health, Healthcare, Governmental Administrative,
and Private Sector.
