Created by a Licensed Nurse. Built for Home Care Business Owners.
Hurricanes, floods, wildfires, winter storms, extreme heat, earthquakes, and long power outages hit older and disabled clients hardest, and the caregiver is often the person who sees the risk first. This self-study course teaches caregivers to get ready before a disaster: which clients are at highest risk, the client's emergency plan and 3-day (72-hour) supply kit, what to do before it hits, shelter in place or evacuate, and what to watch for after. It covers all hazards, with a red field to name your area's main hazards. 6 lessons, 3 hours, with a final assessment and certificate.
What's inside
- Caregiver Workbook with 6 lessons: why getting ready matters, clients at highest risk, the client's emergency plan and 3-day supply kit, before it hits, shelter in place or evacuate, and after the disaster
- Every lesson has a caregiver story, the teaching, "Say this, not that" examples, a scenario, practice activities, a reflection question, and a 5-question quiz
- Quiz answer key, plus a 10-question final assessment with answer key
- Completion Record for the personnel file, with the course title and training time already filled in
- A quick-reference "At a Glance" summary the caregiver keeps
- Certificate of Completion with Supervisor and Administrator signature lines
- Staff Training Tracker (Excel): track every caregiver's completed training, with refresher due dates that fill in automatically and overdue training highlighted
- A START HERE guide that walks you through setting up, assigning, scoring, and filing the course
- Editable Microsoft Word files. Add your agency name and logo; red fields show what to fill in
Why it works
Self-study, with supervisor sign-off built in. Caregivers learn to check a client's kit and grab-and-go bag, get ready when a warning comes, and follow the office's direction, all inside a non-medical role. One purchase covers every caregiver at your agency.
Who it's for
Non-medical home care agencies training caregivers at orientation, every year before storm, fire, or winter season, and after any disaster or drill. Pairs well with Emergencies & Disasters for Caregivers.
Training hours and approved-provider rules vary by state. The certificate documents training completed; it is not a state certification.
