  Training and Education Division (NTED) Catalog.\n\nDescription:\n\nIndivi
 duals with medical\, functional or access needs are particularly vulnerabl
 e to natural hazards. Factors such as physical limitations\, mental ailmen
 ts\, and medication requirements are issues of concern for caregivers. The
 se specific needs\, amongst other considerations for natural hazards\, mus
 t be addressed in preparedness plans for these at-risk individuals. This c
 ourse provides  healthcare professionals\, emergency medical services\, a
 nd citizen/community volunteers involved with the care giving of individua
 ls with medical\, functional\, or access needs with a basic understanding 
 of natural hazards\, risk\, vulnerability\, and disaster preparedness. The
  course will enable participants to discuss best practices to prepare for 
 the impacts of local natural hazards\, identify methods of assisting care 
 receivers to prepare for natural disasters and identify appropriate prepar
 edness actions to take during a disaster.\n\nThis course will familiarize 
 participants with the science of natural hazards\, best practices associat
 ed with personal disaster preparedness\, and disaster preparedness conside
 rations for those with access and functional needs. Participants will be i
 ntroduced to all three categories of hazards\, but course instruction will
  focus on those natural hazards relevant to participants’ local area. Pa
 rticipants will also be introduced to best practices for personal prepared
 ness prior to a disaster and encouraged to discuss plans and actions that 
 they have already taken. Participants will then explore special considerat
 ions for disaster preparedness for dependents and those with access and fu
 nctional needs. Finally\, a class activity will be presented to allow part
 icipants to test their ability to prepare and react to a natural hazard.\n
