Description

Today, the topic has been forgotten, because at first glance it looks as if crisis preparedness is simply no longer necessary: the heating works, the water is drinkable from the tap, the food is waiting in the supermarket or is delivered to your apartment by delivery service. It's no wonder that many people only shop for the next 2 days and have no way to heat their apartment or cook food without electricity and gas. Is that the case with you too? If so, you're relying on a highly complex—and unfortunately, in part, vulnerable—infrastructure. Plus, hardly anyone knows how to ensure that their own basic needs are met in crisis situations. The ever-growing initiative of governmental and non-governmental institutions in the field of crisis preparedness and prepping shows that this topic is more relevant today than ever. The current reporting is mainly focused on the topic of blackouts, i.e. large-scale power failures. If you consider which processes of our modern civilization are dependent on electricity, it quickly becomes clear that a blackout lasting several days is one of the most important crisis preparedness scenarios. There's really no reason to panic: The gloomy blackout forecasts and catastrophic consequences will only become a reality in an emergency if most people have NOT prepared for it. If every household in Germany could manage without electricity for a week or two, the situation would be much more relaxed. The approach of this course is simple: you should be equipped with the knowledge (4 pillars of crisis preparedness) and skills to prepare for crises such as blackouts and to act competently during such a crisis. Blackout training schedule & content: After the meeting and the introduction to the initial situation, a packed training program starts immediately, which you are guaranteed not to get bored of: Skills: - Food & water supply in a crisis - Cooking without electricity, making a fire, and generating heat - Accommodation & camp construction in case of crisis - First aid in a crisis, medicine cabinet - What to do in case of an ABC alarm? - Gear Communication tools in a crisis: - Survival backpack & EDC - Equipment knowledge - Know-how, leadership & toughening up Knowledge of possible dangers and recommended reactions: - What help can I expect in a crisis and what can't I expect? - Maintaining the 7 basic crisis needs - Group dynamics, leadership - Boost your mental and physical resilience
