HFI trains volunteers in advance so they are prepared and allowed to respond, often in restricted areas, when disaster strikes.
HFI Reservist training is held throughout the year in various locations across North America. Our vision is to equip and empower willing responders to serve in immediate aftermath and recovery efforts, whenever and wherever disaster strikes. Hope Force Reservist training focuses on preparing an individual for the arduous task of a disaster responder.
The nature of disaster response can be grueling, with responders often facing very long hours each day, while serving individuals who have experienced tremendous loss and suffering. If an individual desires to become an HFI Reservist, he or she must be personally prepared at every level. Learning to give appropriate care to others and to oneself is of utmost importance.
The HFI Disaster Response Training Intensive consists of two days of preparation for domestic service with HFI. This training is required to be qualified as a Hope Force Reservist - eligible for rapid employment - often within 24-48 hours following a disaster event. The training consists of live speakers, as well as teaching filmed exclusively for Hope Force.
The program covers the following topics to prepare the Reservist for the spiritual and practical dynamics of disaster response:
