Course Description
Are you ready to face a disaster? Have you ever wondered what you would do when the big one hit? What disasters do you face where you live, and what actions do you take when they happen? These are just a few questions to ask yourself to know if you are prepared for a disaster. In this disaster preparedness course, you will gain valuable insight and knowledge of what YOU can do to not only prepare yourself but also all your family members to survive and be ready for a disaster. The course will guide you through the basic steps all the way through getting an emergency kit together to preparing you for financially and technologically. By taking this course, you will gain insight into what things you really need, but also items that can make sheltering easier on everyone, including your pets. For those with special needs, the course also provides unique insights on how to prepare for family members with accessibility concerns and how you can make sure they are taken care of during the disaster.
Taking this course will help you prepare a fully functional disaster preparedness plan--one that includes packing lists, a communication plan, a financial plan, and even a technology plan. If you live in areas where tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other disasters are common, this is the course for you. In addition, this course will cover topics that help you understand what the benefits a safe room can provide for your safety. Even for those not in these areas, this course still provides insight into what to do for man-made disasters such as terrorist attacks, chemical spills, and fires. Don't wait until disaster strikes, strike first and get prepared.
