The Hostile Environment Awareness Training or HEAT is to create awareness of how to respond to scenarios likely to encounter while working in a hostile or hazardous environment. Contrary to the training “Security Awareness for Humanitarian Staff” has HEAT a large “field component,” where participants practice live what was taught in the classroom.
Each course is interactive and requires a participatory approach. We combine theory with group work, audio-visual methods, exercises, and simulations.
Course Modules:
Essential First Aid – Context- and cultural awareness – Conflict and terrorism – Civil unrest – Residence Safety: Burglary, Fire, Armed attack – Driving & Transport safety: driving in hazardous environments, checkpoints, ambush, road travel planning, movement procedures – Dealing with armed state and non-state actors – Traveling alone & Personal planning for an Emergency – Abduction & Coping with capture – Communication and negotiation – Working with communication equipment: radio, satphone, and navigation tools – Mines & Explosive remnants of war (UXO) – Sexual assault – Stress management
