                               GENERAL COURSE OVERVIEW 

 

This course builds on the skills and knowledge gained from the First Incident Response of First Response Disaster that is based on FEMA protocols, INSARAG and NFPA( 1006- 1470-1670-2500) The course program was constructed to maximize the time and existing means. The program should be seen as dynamic, or to take advantage of opportunities as they present or circumvent other students using specialized platforms.

 

Tutors USE (master trainers, Trainer and Advanced Rescue operators) will be taken from experts in their specific areas of forming agency.

 

                                          THE GOALS OF THIS COURSE IS FOCUSED ON

 

1. Know the safety measures and equipment needed for intervention in collapsed structures.

2. Know the different building systems, their characteristics and behavior in earthquakes and other causes of collapse.

3. Know the procedures and protocols, sorting systems, evaluation and signaling structures.

4. Apply the techniques of physics research or research technique surface (use of electronic sensors) and removal techniques for victims in rubble.

5. To apply the different movement techniques and load-lifting.

6. Learn drilling techniques and cutting construction materials (concrete, masonry, structural steel, etc.).

7. Learn the techniques shoring and stabilization of structures with wooden struts, metalizing and rescue.

8. Conhecer os escoramento trincheiras, túneis e galerias.
