Introduction to Disaster Relief

This the only required class in Disaster Relief to serve on teams as a helper. This class starts your adventure that has the potential to change your life as you provide spiritual and physical help to those in crisis. Train to meet the urgent needs of those in crisis situations with loving care and a timely response as James 2:15-16 instructs us to do. Disaster relief is Christian love in action.

Cost for initial training is $45 covers: 1 background check, manual (emailed), 1 badge, 1 cap and 1 T -shirt.

Recertification cost $17 covers: 1 background check and 1 badge.

DR Occupational Stress First Aid (OSFA)

Is a flexible multi-step process for the timely assessment and pre-clinical care of stress reactions or injuries in indi- viduals or units with the goals to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery. Required for DR Chaplains and recommended for all people working in a stressful environment.

Note: These trainings are the first two steps to serve as a DR Chaplain. You will also need a recom- mendation from your pastor and approval from UT-ID leadership. To serve nationally as a Disaster Relief Chaplain there is an application and similar approvals as the UT-ID approval. There is not an assertion that these classes will be accepted in other chaplain services.
