Dispatch

The NEST course will
benefit any resident who takes it. This individual will be better prepared to respond to
and cope with the aftermath of a disaster. Additionally, if Cote Saint-Luc wants to
supplement its response capability after a disaster, civilians can be recruited and
trained as neighbourhood and business teams that, in essence, will be auxiliary
responders. These groups can provide immediate assistance to victims in their area, organize spontaneous volunteers who have not had the training, and collect disaster intelligence that will assist professional responders with prioritization and allocation of resources following a disaster. |
