Baltimore Baptist Association DR Training

The course descriptions are as follows:
Introduction to Southern Baptist Disaster Relief –This class is required for all new volunteers. The class will give an overview of the work of Disaster Relief, it’s role in the larger context of disaster response, and ministry with disaster survivors. We will also cover what to expect on a disaster response, what to bring, etc.
Feeding Team –This class will provide an overview of mass care feeding, whether using a church kitchen to prepare meals to support volunteers responding to a disaster or using a kitchen trailer unit to prepare meals for the impacted community. Emphasis will be given to operating procedures and food safety. This class will include classroom and hands-on kitchen work as well as online videos to be viewed prior to training day.
Recovery Team –The mission of recovery teams is to make a dwelling safe and healthy for the residents to live in until permanent repairs or rebuilding can take place. This class will overview the work of the flood recovery and chainsaw teams beginning with what we do when we arrive on site to when we depart, with emphasis given to safety. Although this is a physical ministry, many tasks do not require physical strength.
Shower/Laundry Team – The shower/laundry team provides important support to our volunteers, other responders and the community during disaster response. Volunteers will learn procedures for all stages of the laundry process from initial guest contact to returning clean laundry, with an emphasis on safe operation of equipment and spiritual care ministry.
