Emergency situations are events we all need to be prepared for as these happen anytime and anywhere. At home or at work, everybody should be made aware, as much as possible, on how to maintain safety, while at the same time, find a way out in case an emergency incident occurs. Being an Emergency Preparedness Consultant in Washington, DC, it is our service and advocacy that every company will be equipped with sufficient knowledge to handle emergency situations successfully.
One of the programs we provide to equip workplace professionals is disaster management training, particularly on scenario-based training. This is an approach to learning where participants can experience a simulation of the emergency situation and be given the instruction on how to respond to these incidents.
In this type of Disaster and Risk Management Training, you can experience the following benefits:
- Close to Actual Experience
In a disaster scenario, there’s a great possibility for us to feel paralyzed over not knowing what to do. This is what we intend to overcome in a scenario-based training. Participants will be placed in a scenario that’s a simulation of an actual disaster so that they will be able to act out what they should do. In the event that their response is erroneous, they can also be corrected right away, which is going to be a life-saving experience in an actual emergency situation. - Exercises Presence of Mind
When one is in an emergency situation, you can lose track of the present rationality so that you may not be able to respond in a proactive way. When you’re trained in a scenario-based experience however, you will be pushed to stretch your mind to establish life-saving measures in a limited time given. It’s an exercise of training your mind to be in the present at all times. - Establishes Association
Another main advantage of scenario-based training is that it gives the participants a visual and physical experience which they can associate with something they have heard about, seen on TV, or gone through in the past. This association can refresh their memory and strengthen their capacity to be ready in the event of an emergency. - Enhances Sense of Community
In the same way with a real disaster happening, a scenario-based training can also strengthen the sense of community among the participants. The experience will provide them a sense of shared experience and responsibility, which can draw them together. In your own company, you can utilize this sense of community in order to foster camaraderie and teamwork amongst your employees.
