Please join the FEMA Region 2 National Preparedness Division in partnership with Americares for a webinar on selfcare for disaster responders amidst the 2024 Hurricane season.
Disaster Responders deal with the double burden of stress from home and work in the face of major disasters. Facing the difficult scenario of caring for themselves and others during this emergency presents responders with the risk of burnout, indirect trauma, and compassion fatigue. During this webinar, FEMA will discuss the specific stressors for disaster responders as well as provide tools that can be used to promote self-care and aid in self-assessment.
Who should attend: disaster responders, first responders, CERT volunteers, state, local, tribal, territorial government staff engaged in disaster response and recovery.
