Be prepared to respond to the next disaster. Early response training covers the basics of early disaster response, including roof tarping, cleaning out damaged homes, spiritual and emotional care, team protocols, and more. The purpose of the training is to prepare our United Methodist Volunteers to do good and do no harm.
Proper credentials are sometimes required for individuals and teams responding in the first few days after a disaster. Participants who successfully complete this training will receive those credentials, including an ERT badge.
Training sessions are open to all people ages 18+. All participants will complete a background check through UMCOR. All participants must also complete Safe Sanctuary training.
Mark your calendar for February 22, 8am-4pm, and plan to attend at Epworth UMC in Bethlehem.
