Take a deep dive into the first steps that will help prepare you and your family to handle any disaster in the Bay Area and Berkeley.
(Prerequisite: Unit 2: Disaster Medical Operations I)
Learn the basic disaster medical skills needed to care for yourself, your family, and others when professional help may be delayed after a disaster in Berkeley and the Bay Area.
Key takeaways from Unit 3: Disaster Medical Operations I class:
- Identify and practice treating the three most common life-threatening conditions following a disaster: airway obstruction, bleeding, and shock
- Use potentially life-saving interventions to stabilize a survivor
- Perform basic first-aid care for several common non-fatal injuries like fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains
This is the first class in a seven-unit series. Each class will give you hands-on experience in dealing with disasters that can impact Berkeley. Learn more about Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and follow our Eventbrite page to receive updates for new classes.
