You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
But you can start preparing today!

Whether you're setting up for a weekend festival, planning a long-term community free clinic, or preparing an community operations center for a complete team of aid workers after a natural disaster, this course provides the administrative and organizational skills you need to make it efficient and effective.

You’ll learn:

  • To take charge in an emergency situation
  • To manage resources and teams of people
  • To assess changing situations accurately
  • To manage care for a wide range of needs, including acute trauma and longer-term post-disaster care
  • To communicate within your community and with government response teams
  • Austere engineering skills to make sure you have clean water and sanitary conditions
  • Security strategies and small group tactics

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

The program also includes FEMA and CERT coursework (at no extra cost) so that you understand how government response teams work, and you're prepared to interface with these groups when and if they arrive.

The goal of this course is to give you 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.

Don't guess you're ready.
KNOW you are.

I love your teaching style and your humor cracks me up. Here in Utah with the wildfires, it all happened just the way the course outlines and teaches. I wasn't prepared - I wish I'd had it before the fires - but next time I will be!

Comprehensive!

Amanda S.

I so appreciate how detailed and comprehensive the course is. I wasn't expecting it to be so extensive in it's scope. It's way more than just setting up an emergency herbal clinic and I am so grateful to get a wider view on what all would be necessary in a disaster/protest situation, even things I may not be directly involved with.
