Foursquare Disaster Relief Training (Spokane, WA)

Join FDR Trainer Chris Costello for an essential in-person Disaster Relief Training designed to equip leaders to effectively respond to disasters and crises. This 16-hour course is vital for anyone interested in lending a hand during local, regional, or large-scale disasters, including those who wish to serve with FEMA, State, County, and local disaster response teams.

Attendance at this training is mandatory for individuals seeking to assist Foursquare Disaster Relief teams at any capacity. During the course, you’ll receive instructions on furthering your training in CISM, FEMA, and other specialized disaster relief areas.

Upon completing the FDR Disaster Relief Training, you will receive a certificate acknowledging your accomplishment in the 16 hours of FDR training. To become a certified FDR responder, students must fill out an online form after the class, confirming pastoral endorsement, a background check on file with their church, and an agreement to adhere to the standards outlined in the Foursquare Child + Youth Protection Manual.

It’s important to note that this training and certification specifically apply to deployments through Foursquare Disaster Relief. We encourage each church to establish a local team and establish connections with local First Responders, enabling them to collaborate effectively with their community’s emergency services when disaster strikes.

This comprehensive Disaster Relief Training spans two consecutive days, ensuring you’re fully prepared to make a positive impact when needed.
