DISASTER RESPONSE CASE MANAGEMENT TRAINING

July 18-19, 2008
and
July 21-22, 2008

Vineville United Methodist Church
Macon, Georgia

The case management training is a two day event, which includes 14 hours of intense training, in addition to four hours of training for CAN.  The CAN portion of the training is done immediately following the conclusion of the case management training.

There will be two training events – the first one will be conducted on July 18-19. The second training event will be conducted July 21-22.  Both of these events will be at the Vineville United Methodist Church on Vineville Avenue.

Participants must understand that for them to be certified to do case management work, they must attend all of the sessions.  Those who are being trained to do CAN will need access to a laptop computer during training.  It is not necessary for each student to have a laptop, two can pair and work together during the CAN training.  For the CAN training, access to wireless internet is necessary.  The Vineville church has wireless capability.  Participant's laptop must be able to login.

The trainer for both training events will be Rick Hill, UMCOR Disaster Consultant. He is a veteran of the Katrina response, and he is very capable to lead us in our training.

Each event will be limited to thirty (30) people.  It is vital, due to the size and scope of our recovery work in Macon/Bibb, that we have 30 people in each session.

There is no cost for the training event, but participants will be given the chance to help with the cost of the meals at Vineville.
