What's Next: New Releases in August 2007

American Heat: On the Fringe of Disaster
463-0807 / 30 minutes
Devastating natural events are on the increase. Response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita taught the emergency services that even remote communities away from the direct path of a natural disaster could be significantly impacted by the event. Communities not normally impacted by hurricanes found themselves struggling to meet added demand from thousands of evacuees. This course proposes updates to the roles of emergency responders. It will assist leaders in estimating what types of disaster preparation and training are needed for communities. The course also helps emergency responders consider what disaster recovery resources might be needed and facilitates the development of contingency plans in case some expected resources are not available.

PULSE: Transport of the Bariatric Patient
464-0807 / 30 minutes

Fireground Safety and Survival
038-0807 / 30 minutes
Safety and survival-what do you think of when you hear this phrase? To many, it has very little meaning. To others, it means training. To a chief, it means policies. There are as many safety and survival issues to deal with as there are types of responses. The problem with this is no two responses are ever exactly alike in every aspect. The one key area that people concern themselves with is returning from each alarm safely.
