The DEOs in the parish of St. Philip are beefing up their training in time for the hurricane season. The training sessions are held at the Princess Margaret School at Six Roads in St. Philip.
The first module was Disaster Preparedness that was presented by Clive Lorde. The second was Fire Safety and Suppression presented by Marlon Small and Fernando McAllister. On Saturday June 14, 2008 the group had an indepth look at Disaster Medical Operations. The instructor for this session was Wayne Payne.
There are several other modules that are on the cards. These include Light Search and Rescue, Incident Command and Team Organisation, Disaster & Emergency Communiation and a Disaster Simulation Exercise. This is a pilot project and it is expected that these sessions will be extended to the DEOS across the island.
