Course Description
Everybody’s home and each family are different. And there are many kinds of disasters: natural, technical, and intentional. How is it possible, then, to have an effective disaster plan for you and your family? By using a principle called All-Hazards. The first module of this course explains All-Hazards and the three main self-reliant practices at its heart: Shelter-in-Place, a Communication Plan, and Evacuation. These practices are then further explained in 3 modules. Home Disaster Preparedness is one of the most important activities you can engage in to protect yourself and your family, and it’s an easy value-add service to offer your clients.
