Oklahoma trains residents to stay ‘Fit for Duty’ amid disasters
Oklahoma, with its frequent natural and man-made disasters, urges residents to prepare through volunteering and training. The Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps (OKMRC) offers free sessions to enhance skills and knowledge.
OKMRC.org provides details on volunteering and two upcoming trainings focused on self-care strategies. These sessions, open to first responders and community members, cover physical, mental, emotional, and financial fitness.
Dr. Rick Cohen will lead these trainings on November 29 and December 4. Participants will learn about the impacts of sleep deprivation, fatigue, and nutrition on performance and safety, and receive mitigation tips. The Oklahoma Standard, which promotes helping neighbors in need, supports these initiatives. Attendees will understand what it means to be 'Fit for Duty' and gain tips to boost performance. These trainings also qualify for two continuous education hours.
OKMRC seeks committed volunteers to assist during emergencies. Interested individuals can visit OKMRC.org for more information and to register for these valuable trainings.
