HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS TRAINING

HDFF: HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS TRAINING (HEAT)

Practical training in the field provides unmatched educational quality and prepares participants to cope with a variety of hostile environments.

Humanitarian workers are frequently required to operate in high-risk, hostile, and unstable environments. Without practical training, aid workers lack the practical skills to protect themselves, colleagues, and beneficiaries from violence and accidents. As a result, not only is a comprehensive HEAT training course recommended for all staff members working in such conditions, many insurers actually require it in order to provide coverage in the event of an emergency.

Participants in HDFF’s intensive 5-day HEAT course will learn how to: recognize and avoid UXO/IED’s/land mines; how to prevent and respond to fires in the field; how to survive a Kidnapping & Hostage incident from abduction to release/rescue by force; to apply life-saving techniques in a remote field environment; respond with essential survival techniques during an active shooter situation; understand best-practices for delivering aid in unstable, rapidly-evolving situations, stay safe during outbreaks of civil unrest; behave appropriately at legal/illegal checkpoints and enhance safety and effectiveness through knowledge of basic field navigation.
