Emergency Preparedness and Response

We are taught from an early age what to do in case of an air-raid warning or chemical hazard. These are examples of emergencies, but there are many more situations we may encounter. What should you do when spending time in an avalanche-prone area? What should you do if a mercury thermometer breaks? How should you act during an evacuation? This e-learning course answers these and other questions.
The course covers:
  • What is an emergency situation?
  • How can you find out that an emergency has been declared?
  • How can you protect yourself during man-made and natural disasters and accidents?
  • What types of personal protective equipment are available, and how should they be used?
  • What is an evacuation, and how is it organized?
  • How can you protect your health if an incident occurs at home or while on vacation?
