Course lasts up to 8 hours
The All Hazards Disaster Response (AHDR) course teaches students how to respond to the many types of disaster scenarios they may encounter, including:
AHDR educates participants on how to analyze potential threats in their area, assess available resources, and create a response plan that will save lives. At the start of the course, participants conduct a “hazards vulnerability analysis” to assess features of their environment, both natural and manufactured, that pose risk, along with evaluating the needs of vulnerable populations, such as assisted-living residents or hospital patients that need special consideration during such an event.
Content is presented in the context of realistic scenarios, culminating with a large-scale mass casualty activity. AHDR is appropriate for all levels of EMS practitioners. This course is offered 8 hours of CAPCE credit and NREMT recognition.
