Living Life’s Emergencies – A Program of Defense Living for the Public Schools
Emergency preparedness education is a natural match for our school systems. It should begin at the elementary level and continue through high school. ERI's 5-day course is designed for the schoolteacher or administrator who is interested in incorporating emergency preparedness skills (and a "Self-Reliant Living" philosophy) into their everyday lessons, regardless of the class subject or grade level. Participants will learn the principles and concepts of survival situation management, positive mental attitude, body management, survival skills and knowledge of hazardous environments. Most importantly, they will learn how to incorporate this knowledge into everyday classroom learning situations. An integral part of the class focuses on:
- School disaster planning process for all locally appropriate hazards
- Development of the written plan
- Establishment of procedures to implement that plan
- Gain an appreciation of how schools fit into the overall coordinated community emergency management program
