The Salvation Army has introduced a no-cost online course “Introduction to Emergency Disaster Services” for those interested in becoming a SA Volunteer when a disaster strikes. The course offers a basic understanding on how the SA responds to disasters at both the local and national levels. Topics include different phases of disaster response, how to respond in our community and how to care for yourself and others in a crisis.
This introductory class provides participants with an overview of the SA mission and its role in disaster work. The course also covers how volunteers can prepare and equip themselves for a disaster deployment.
To get started, create an account on the Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services website at: http://disaster.salvationarmyusa.org
At the site, click on “Create an Account” in the upper right hand corner to begin. Registration takes a few minutes. The online course will be offered quarterly throughout 2015. This course is a prerequisite for advanced training.

Taking this course will improve your emergency response abilities.
