Emergency Preparedness Training

Advanced Systemic Solutions with Martyn Carruthers

Emergency! Emergency! This is not an exercise...

Emergency preparedness, contingency planning, crisis management and disaster control are arts requiring clusters of sciences. Well designed emergency training and well exercised contingency plans save lives and reduce property damage.

Trained disaster workers can reduce a major crisis to a relatively minor event, and can greatly reduce the time needed to return an emergency situation to normal. Ideal emergency workers are not only well trained but experienced; having discussed, practiced and exercised many accident and incident scenarios.

They are not only fluent in the local language but empathic about the local culture. They understand local values and honor local traditions. They are respected by community leaders and trusted by emergency authorities. They are emotionally stable, and can support unstable people. They are innovative leaders, loyal team-workers and obedient workers as circumstances require.

Emergency Workers

Professional emergency workers are often trained by military or paramilitary organizations. Military personnel, police officers, firefighters and paramedics are usually extremely well trained and experienced in many crisis situations. They accept a military-like chain of command and can lead as well as follow.

Emergencies are hard places. Untrained disaster workers often have high ideals and minimal experience. In their haste to help, they create more problems than they solve. They may disobey professionals and worsen problems. Their value may be worth less than their transport, accommodation, supervision and food. Their lack of training may require more resources than they provide!

Untrained workers in disaster areas not only risk harm - essential resources may be required for their rescue. Untrained workers get burned out or kicked out...

Emergency Preparedness Training

Emergency preparedness begins with training. This can be from the following training packages or customized for your organization's unique needs. If you want or need emergency preparedness training, please tell us:

  •  Your contingency - what emergencies do you want to prepare for?
  •  Your objectives - what skills do you want your people to learn?
  •  Your situation - what skills and resources do your people already have?
  •  Student background - what is their experience and age range?
  •  How much time you want to invest in emergency training?
  •  Do you want to include supervised exercises?
  •  Language skills - are translators needed?

 The following emergency preparedness courses can be presented in three-day segments.

Plans & Operations

Disasters take many shapes. Some are natural - and others manmade. Some are predictable and others are shockingly unexpected. Some are trivial - and others may kill thousands of people. A crisis can take many shapes, and each type of crisis precipitates a set of reactions that emergency workers can follow. Emergency planning rarely anticipates all scenarios, but gets emergency workers and resources together as quickly as possible.

  1. Vehicle and airplane accidents
  2. Industrial and nuclear accidents
  3. Wars and terrorism
  4. Famines and droughts
  5. Plagues and epidemics
  6. Avalanches and landslides
  7. Storms and floods
  8. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
  9. Hurricanes, cyclones and tornados
  10. Tidal waves and tsunamis

Preparing for Disaster

You're an emergency worker! You are eager to help others while developing your skills and abilities! You are trained in first aid and CPR. You are fit. What else can you do to prepare yourself? What skills can you develop that will assist you greatly - even if you never step into a real crisis situation - what skills are invaluable in any crisis?

  1. Staying resourceful in chaos
  2. Dealing with your own emotional reactions
  3. Moving your attention and action into priorities
  4. Maintaining empathic dissociation
  5. Recognizing your own burn-out and overwhelm
  6. Getting food, rest and sleep
  7. Becoming a leader that people can follow
  8. A sequence of helping (shock, guilt, beliefs, trauma, decisions)
  9. Working in teams - not groups or gangs
  10. Dealing with "survivor guilt"

Crisis Coaching

It's up to you. You have been instructed to lead a group of refugees to a safe location. Or maybe you are with a group of evacuees and it's time to go home. You may believe that you know what is best for them. Some are older than you and some younger. Some may be trying to believe that it's not THAT bad, some may be in shock and some may be hurt. Children may be crying and screaming ... and some people cannot understand you at all...

  1. When to call for help!
  2. Initial shock and disbelief
  3. Adults who are age regressed (adults become child-like)
  4. People in shock or in pain
  5. People who have lost family, goods or property
  6. Post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD)
  7. Assisting people with strange beliefs
  8. Dealing with suicide and other threats
  9. Making decisions after crisis
  10. Evaluating life after a disaster

Emergency Teamwork

Emergency work is teamwork. Independent heroes only look good in movies. Emergency workers violating chain of command are worse than useless. During team training, we simultaneously coach team members to work together effectively. Team Training can include forming new teams, resolving conflicts, improving existing teams and training team leaders. We also coach team leaders to disband teams with minimum stress.

  1. Overall objectives
  2. Leader's role and tasks
  3. Selecting and training leaders
  4. Task content and priorities
  5. Team competencies
  6. Selecting team members
  7. Team rules (4 categories)
  8. Team member responsibilities
  9. Hidden agendas and other objections
  10. Team consultation

Systemic Coach Training

Soulwork provides effective coaching and coach training. We train professional coaches to coach individuals, partners and teams to resolve a wide range of emotional and relationship challenges.
