In today’s unpredictable world, emergency professionals must be trained not only for traditional emergencies, but for complex, large-scale incidents. AHDR provides a comprehensive approach to disaster preparedness and response, enabling participants to: 

    • Analyze likely hazards and threats in their region 
    • Evaluate existing emergency resources and limitations 
    • Develop scalable and coordinated disaster response plans 

Participants begin the course by conducting a Hazards Vulnerability Analysis (HVA), identifying natural and man-made threats unique to their communities, including the needs of vulnerable populations such as hospital patients or long-term care residents. 

Key Learning Objectives 

The course emphasizes practical strategies for: 

    • Effective communication during disaster events
    • Mutual aid coordination and system interoperability
    • Resource management (supplies, medications, and equipment)
    • Triage and transport under mass casualty conditions
    • Evacuation and patient tracking 

Training culminates in a realistic mass casualty simulation, giving participants a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a high-pressure, scenario-based environment.
