Are you prepared for emergencies and disasters?
In his course, you will learn what types of emergencies we are subject to, how bad they can be, how we can reduce the risk, and what we can do about them. You will also learn what governments' role is, and their limitations in response, and why it is important to take personal responsibility for your and your family's well-being. You will also learn how to organize your neighbourhood. The course will conclude with a few tabletop exercises to give you confidence that you will be able to respond appropriately rather then simply react.
