Course Description:

This Free Training course is intended to equip emergency management staff and voluntary agency  personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform as effective mass care coordinators in a broad range of disaster situations. The course covers how to assess and size up mass care needs; how to plan for mass care; recruitment, training, and exercises for mass care personnel; and actions to take in short-term and long-term mass care operations (response and recovery).

The Community Mass Care Management course is designed to provide training to communities about mass care. By making more communities capable of planning for and managing mass care, professional mass care organizations like the Red Cross will find resources better organized and more abundant and communities will be more self-sufficient. Providing this training will increase mass care options at the community level and will result in greater readiness for population protection and higher quality management of mass care needs. The goal of the course is to equip emergency management staff and voluntary agency personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform as effective Mass Care Coordinators in a broad range of disaster situations.
