Mucking and Gutting includes training for response teams to be able to safely and correctly muck and gut a home so that it can dry out and prevent further damages while waiting for repairs. This course also includes assisting a renter and a homeowner with their damaged property. Resources for the residents that include information about what items can be salvaged and what items can’t be salvaged are vital to their recovery.
Compassionate Care includes training for those who will be providing emotional and spiritual support for survivors and their families. The Course also covers what to say or do and what not to say or do. One important element is to provide the survivors with resources to assist in their recovery. We encourage every response team to have a dedicated Compassionate Care provider on the team.
Target: Mucking and Gutting : Individuals and families who want to know how to prepare for disasters, persons interested in sharing preparedness information within their congregations, networks, organizations, clients, and potential trainers. Compassionate Care: Everyone who will have contact with survivors or will supervise groups that will have contact with survivors, those interested in learning more about what we can do as responders to bring relief to survivors of disasters, and potential trainers.
