What is 密苏里州的希望?
The 密苏里州的希望 Disaster Response Field Training Exercise is a rigorous three-day program that’s mandatory for students studying emergency disaster management. This training is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively to domestic disaster situations.
Where does it take place?
Students receive practical training at Mozingo Outdoor Education Recreation Area (MOERA) and Mozingo Youth Camp to hone their skills and become experts in their field. Upon completion of the program, they are equipped to handle any domestic disaster situation with confidence.
Who can participate?
Northwest students, regardless of major or minor, can participate in hands-on 救灾 training. Academic credit is optional.
志愿者 are also welcome to participate as "actors" and immerse themselves in the scenarios.
Why should you do it?
The domestic 救灾 exercise challenges students to overcome their fears and hone their skills as emergency responders. Students work together in teams faced with mass casualty situations, high-angle rescues and water rescue operations.
谁帮助它运行??
密苏里州的希望 is a program that is sponsored by Northwest’s Emergency and Disaster Management Program and the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education.
How the program got its start
Due to an increased need for trained professionals in the crisis response field, Northwest launched its unique EDM program in 2009 as an interdisciplinary minor. The program expanded to be offered as an academic major in 2012. Course instruction is provided by Northwest faculty and staff who have regional and national roles in emergency management.
