Disaster Preparedness & Survival

Lincoln County EMA will be hosting “Disaster Preparedness and Survival”. This course is designed to prepare individuals and families how to prepare for, survive, and recover from a disaster.  Instructors will follow a “me, we, they” approach to prepare participants to care for themselves, their families, and their communities before, during, and after a disaster and whether they should evacuate of stay put. Through a combination of facilitated discussions and hands-on activities based on real-life scenarios, the instructors will demonstrate how planning, preparedness, and responsible actions may increase the chances of both surviving a disaster and recovering from it more quickly.

At the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

• Describe the elements involved in disaster preparation.
• Explain how to survive various disasters, perform self-rescue, choose whether to shelter in-place or evacuate, and report status.
• Demonstrate how to search for, rescue, and care for others safely and effectively.
• Articulate the steps to take following a disaster to initiate the recovery process.
• Select a disaster survival strategy.
