What Placards Really Tell you? For CERT Team Members

What Placards Really Tell you? For CERT Team Members

March 12th | 1:30pm-3:30pm OR 6:30pm-8:30pm | ZOOM

What if you were the first on the scene of a Hazardous Material release and you didn’t have your Emergency Response Guidebook or any other resources? Basic knowledge about the placard color and symbol can go a long way to assist in protecting you and those around you.

This course contains valuable information for all levels of Emergency Responders. We will look at the US DOT placards and what they REALLY tell the first responder. What are the real hazards associated with a placarded load? What can happen if the material gets out of its container? How do I protect myself and others if a release should occur.

If you're looking for just another "Placard regulation" course, this isn't it. Upon completion of this course, you'll never look at a placard the same way again!

Preparedness Webinar Series: Disaster Gap: The Smallest (BIGGEST) Interval You’ve Never Heard Of

Preparedness Webinar Series

Disaster Gap: The Smallest (BIGGEST) Interval You’ve Never Heard Of

Tues, Feb 13, 2024 | 1pm CST | ZOOM

In the moments after a disaster, the time prior to arrival of first responders is uncharted time. During this time, people experiencing the scene first-hand step up, regardless of training, to care for others. They act, doing the best they can amidst an unstable scene and at their own personal risk. Their actions may be the difference between life and death, yet we do little to prepare them or care for them after the event. Neither bystander nor first responder, these are the Spontaneous Responders within the Disaster Gap and they are often invisible to us. This webinar will differentiate spontaneous responders from both bystanders and first responders, will serve as a call to arms to change how we teach about disasters, and will suggest ways to change how we construct After Action Reports.

 

Objectives: 1. Discuss the significance of the gap between the moment of an incident and the arrival of first responders. 2. Describe the meaning of the term “disaster gap” as it relates to major emergency incidents and identify at least 3 types of disaster gaps. 3. Evaluate your own personal level of preparedness and what actionable steps could be implemented to close a disaster gap.
