Education and training play a vital role in preparing for public health emergencies and disasters. By training and exercising for potential events, we can continuously improve our ability to respond effectively.
CDH’s training and education activities include practicing our Emergency Operations Plan, collaborating with Medical Reserve Corps Volunteers and regional partners and participating in community outreach.
Our Public Health Preparedness Program utilizes training resources from several expert organizations to enhance our ability to respond. Examples of these agencies include:
- Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Federal Emergency Management (FEMA): Provides many programs, courses and materials to support emergency preparedness and response for emergency personnel, as well as the public.
- Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM): Offers awareness, management, performance and executive level courses.
Stop the Bleed Training
The Stop the Bleed Initiative is intended to deliver training to internal staff, external partners and community members. Training participants will learn to identify life-threatening bleeding, respond immediately using compression techniques and alert emergency dispatch effectively.
Stop the Bleed training improves community preparedness and empowers citizens to continue education in their own network. It is managed by our Public Health Preparedness Training & Exercise Coordinator and supported a cadre of instructors and the CDH Risk Management Committee.
Training courses are held on a quarterly basis based on the number of enrolled participants. Community members can sign up to attend a session and organizations can request on-site training using the Stop the Bleed Request Form.
