Why is this course important
Emergency preparedness helps protect the safety, wellbeing, and dignity of people living in aged residential care.
When staff understand their role and know how to respond during disruption, they can help maintain essential care, communicate clearly, and provide reassurance when people may be feeling unsettled or vulnerable. This supports a calmer, more coordinated response for residents, whānau, and the wider care team.
