MAN
MADE, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND NATURAL DISASTERS
The threat of major disaster is more evident than ever. If you
are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem! Do
you have confidence in yourself and others to react responsibly
to put out fires, tend to the wounded, properly evacuate and
basically have CONTROL of the situation?
Our HIGH INTENSITY workshop offers 4 ½ hours of teaching
not just what to do, but how to do it. The informational dialog
given by our in-house instructor is accompanied by 125 slides
and a terrific Workbook. He will also have you out of your seats
as he creates an actual disaster scenario in one of your rooms,
dresses you up in search and rescue gear, and shows you the
do’s and don’ts of disaster survival and team work.
