NAEMT’s All Hazards Disaster Response (AHDR) course teaches students how to respond to the many types of disaster scenarios they may encounter, including natural disasters and infrastructure failings, fires and radiological events, pandemics, active shooter incidents, and other mass casualty events. AHDR educates participants on how to analyze potential threats in their area, assess available resources, and create a response plan that will save lives. Students will conduct a “hazards vulnerability analysis” to assess features of their environment, both natural and man-made, that pose risk, along with assessing the needs of vulnerable populations, such as assisted-living residents or hospital patients that need special consideration during such an event. The course culminates with a large-scale mass casualty activity.
Participants will receive 8 hours of CAPCE-approved credit and the student manual is included.
