Online BSF Training 2022
 
In order to protect our partners from exposure to the COVID-19, we will continue to conduct 2022 Burn Surge Facility Training online.  We are confident you will obtain the information you need to participate in mass casualty burn care. ​

This course examines the role of public information in managing an all-hazards incident and provides practical training in crisis communication techniques. In such an incident, it is imperative that community leaders, incident managers, and public information officers are prepared to communicate with the public through
the news and social media. The course focuses on the role of public information in incident management, the information needs of the public in a crisis, and the various means of effectively communicating through the news and social media. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to manage the major elements associated with public information in a WMD, terrorism and all-hazards incident.

​A 2010 report by the National Commission on Children and Disasters identified a training gap for emergency responders, first receivers, and emergency management personnel that reduced their effectiveness in responding to pediatric patients and their unique needs/considerations.

​This course addresses pediatric emergency planning and medical response considerations through a combination of lectures, and small group exercises.
