Hazardous Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)

📅 27 – 30 November 2023
Sweden

DRC’s HEAT is a personal awareness safety training in which participants will learn how to identify potential threats and adopt risk mitigation measures for reducing the likelihood of encountering local threats and the impact should a threat-related event occur. This course is designed for participants coming from a wide range of backgrounds with varied levels of experience in travel to hazardous and insecure contexts.

HEAT is conducted in both a conference room setting and in field conditions including presentations, discussions, and simulation-based exercises. Participants should be ready to spend time outdoors in the prevailing weather conditions, move on foot for shorter distances in terrain, jump in and out of vehicles, dive for cover, and encounter stressful situations under the guidance and support of the course instructors.
