Each year floods throughout the world kill thousands of people and affect millions. During these incidents, rescuers
are often called upon to perform daring rescues. Without proper training, these rescuers put their lives, as well as the
lives of the people they are rescuing, in enormous peril. However, with proper training and practice, rescuers can
greatly reduce the risks to themselves, as well as tremendously increasing their chances of affecting a successful rescue.
This course focuses on keeping rescuers from becoming victims, as well as safe and effective ways to perform
rescues. We believe that preplanning and training are the keys to a safe and effective rescue, and that our ultimate
success is measured in every rescuer returning home safe at the end of the day.
