In an emergency, skills make the difference.

When you know how to care for yourself and your community, You're not a victim, you're a HERO.

If you’ve ever been in an emergency situation, you know that it’s easy to feel overwhelmingly helpless. But when you're prepared, you're confident.

Imagine helping someone in a great amount of pain, to ease their suffering until emergency teams arrive. Imagine feeling confident about what to do if those support teams never do arrive.  Imagine confidently taking your place in the community when disaster strikes, rising to aid those in need. 

That’s what this program is all about.

In this program, you'll learn the skills you need to set up and manage support teams and a first aid location in your community:

  • Take charge in an emergency situation
  • Manage resources and teams of people
  • Assess changing situations accurately
  • Manage care for a wide range of needs, including acute trauma and longer-term post-disaster care
  • Communicate within your community and with government response teams
  • Create clean water and sanitary conditions with off-grid engineering skills
  • Plan for security in situations where that is necessary


You'll also learn first aid and longer-term care that you'll need to keep everyone you love safe and healthy:

  • Manage acute wounds and trauma, as well as long-term wound and trauma care
  • Work with chronic illnesses through an emergency situation
  • Plan for and manage situations where conventional medical care is not available, from children to elders, and including supporting those with complicated conditions
  • Plan effectively for the nutritional needs of your community
  • Manage infectious disease in austere conditions
  • Emergency birth care
  • Making a plan for pets and livestock


...And MORE, so that you’re prepared to cover all the bases when disaster hits.

You'll have the skills and confidence to function calmly and efficiently in a disaster scenario, providing effective support for your loved ones and community no matter what the situation is, and even if government support never arrives.
