The Prepared Home

Courses

The roots of this web site lie in the course outline I prepared as part of a Course Design course I did in 2001. The NEOCN has now acreditted a level 1 course called Surviving a Home Emergency. This course covers the practicalities of preparing a short term emergency plan based on the information given in the report on preparing a short term emergency plan I will be able to offer this course anywhere I can travel to easily, which means most of North East England. It has also struck me that given the material, it would be possible to develop an online version, once the classroom based course has been established. This would mean anyone in the UK, who wanted to do the course could do, so providing they had Internet access.

Workshops

There are also a series of single session workshops suitable for groups who want a short practical session or talk on a home related issue. I can do these anywhere that I can travel to easily, again that means most of the North East of England.

Don’t get Knocked Out by a Power Cut
Ideas for helping yourself to survive more comfortably and, more importantly, stay safe should this happen to you.

Conducting a Home Hazard Hunt
The home is one of the most dangerous places to be. This workshop looks at some of the things you need to consider as you try and make your home safer for everyone.

Picking up the Pieces with the help of a Household Inventory
How can you make a household inventory so you know what you have? This is useful so you can pass on the details to the police and/or insurance company. They are also useful when negotiating who owns what in a household.

Stay Safe – Communicate
How can you keep in touch if things go wrong? What you need to know to help you stay in touch?
