Emergency Operations Rehabilitation

Course Description:

A recent change to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1584 (Standard on the Rehabilitation Process for Members During Emergency Operations and Training Exercises) from “recommendation” to “standard” requires that each fire department develop and implement Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) that outline how they provide rehabilitation at incidents and training exercises.
