The Deanery Outreach Commission with the sponsorship of the

Vigo County Emergency Management  Agency will be conducting

Search and Rescue in Community Disasters Course

 

Have you ever wondered how to develop a mindset to prepare, act, and survive in a disaster?

The course is designed to provide training for community members to safely conduct search and light rescue response to aid their family and neighbors in the immediate aftermath of a natural catastrophe, technological accident, or human-caused incidents. The course is intended for members of the whole community and draws on information and lessons learned from a variety of disaster incidents such as hurricanes, tornados, and man-made events. Hands-on training is used to demonstrate best practices for effective search and light rescue which can be used in both residential and commercial environments.

Participants also learn strategies to rescue and care for themselves, their families, and their pets in the immediate aftermath of an event.
