Prior planning and training will ensure that your employees are taken care of quickly which will allow you to resume normal operations much sooner after a disaster strikes.

In a true disaster, the responders are victims right along with the citizens. Outside help cannot reach the impacted area due to lack of communications and transportation. Normal infrastructure such as power, water and heat will be lost. Normal commerce will be disrupted. Business and industry, institutions and families must be able to care for themselves for the first days after a disaster until organized help can be requested, get organized and respond to the area.

ERI Canada has developed a class for emergency responders, administrators, teachers, business and industry as well as the general civilian populace. The goal of the class is to give as many people as possible enough information so they can respond intelligently and safely to the dangers encountered after a major disaster involving structural collapse. Students who complete the entire program are certified at the basic to light Urban Search and Rescue level.

ERI will customize the program for your particular needs and teach the class in your facility around your schedule. Call us for information on how to schedule a program.
