Class Descriptions:
Active Shooter on Campus
- Shootings have happened on many campuses across the country. What do
you do when faced with someone with a gun? Watch an excellent
scenario-based training video and discuss common sense strategies for
surviving shooter and hostage situations. You'll be surprised how much
you can do to stay safe!
Personal Emergency Preparedness -
Earthquakes and other emergencies happen everywhere in the world. They
can be devastating. Why doesn't anyone tell you what you should know?
We will! How to communicate if the phones aren't working, what
emergency supplies you "must" have and what are "nice" to have, how to
put out a fire using a fire extinguisher, how to turn off natural gas.
You'll feel 100% better prepared when you're done!
Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment - What do you do when there is a medical emergency and you are the only one available to help? In just one hour, you can learn the simple skills needed to identify life threatening conditions and address them before the ambulance arrives. It's easy - and fun to practice!
Campus Emergency Response Team has been taught across the country for over 20 years. Originally developed by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, CERT provides "every day people" with the skills to be able to help out after an emergency when professional first responders are overwhelmed and need our help. Skills include disaster medicine, patient assessment, fire safety & extinguisher use, light search & rescue techniques and much more! It's fun! Help yourself, help your family, help your community.
