The course also covers security issues unique to mass feeding in a Weapons of Mass Destruction/ Terrorism incident, including appropriate notifications, activities, and useful tips.

I just printed off two certificates from your courses and had to write in to tell you how enjoyable they were. The site is easy to navigate through and the lessons are so interesting. I’ve learned a great deal on the subjects that I have studied thus far. I can’t wait to start another to build onto what I’ve already learned. I am being trained in Emergency Services and these eLessons are invaluable to me and have given me scenarios that I have not yet come across, but when I do, I will be able to fall back on what I’ve learned through your courses. Thank you for offering these courses.
