COURSES
Online Quick Course is a self-paced set of slides with embedded audio and video features. It typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete and provides an introduction to Hub concepts and practical operations. Registration is free via this form. A link to access the course will be emailed to you immediately upon registration.
Hubs Practice Course provides hands-on experience helping run a Hub in a simulated disaster situation. People find it to be really fun and thought provoking. Photos on this page are from one of our Practice Course events. The course involves:
A set of online slides and a Hub Manual (PDF) to review at your own pace (same as for the stand-alone Quick Course above)
Pre-event class meeting (on Zoom) Thurs., Oct 3, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Outdoor hands-on disaster practice event. Sat., Oct 5, 9:00 -- 11:30 a.m. -- Participants help to run the Hub that the public is invited to check out. (See above "Village Hub Practice Event")
Registration is free, just complete this online form to secure your spot.
There will be an optional follow-up discussion on Zoom, Tues Oct 8, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. for those participants interested in learning more about how to create a Hub in their own neighborhood, assisting others who are doing so, or in some other form supporting the Village Hubs project.
“Actually practicing
hands-on was really good…
I would love more of it…
Thanks for all the hard work!”
