UMCOR Early Response Training  & Certification  

Description:

The class is the initial training for church team members that desire to respond immediately after a disaster incident and are capable of serving as a fully self-sufficient team..  The course focuses on helping the survivors, cultural aspects, preparation-what to take, and tasks (debris removal, tarping, and clean up).  The mission of an early response team is to provide a caring Christian presence in the aftermath of a disaster, under very specific guidelines that enable a team to be productive and caring while causing no further harm or being a burden to the affected community. 

Classes are taught by “authorized” UMCOR trainers,
