HOT Summit 2018 will be in conjunction with the Widening Access and Humanitarian Mapping track at the FOSS4G Conference.

The annual FOSS4G conference is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software. FOSS4G brings together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation. Through six days of workshops, presentations, discussions, and cooperation, FOSS4G participants create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, and protocols.

Click the link here for discounted registration to the event and for more information, we will then send a link and code to complete registration through the larger FOSS4G website.

A major challenge for humanitarian workers is the question of what to do in life-threatening situations relating to a range of medical emergencies. Immediate and effective emergency treatment is a life-saving measure, especially in remote areas and high-risk environments where professional medical care is delayed or not available. Field workers must be able to recognize injuries, trauma, and various medical situations in the field. From that initial assessment, they must be able to respond based on specific protocols and the use of medical products. And yet life-saving first aid is not just for field personnel, but for every individual who wants to be prepared in the worst of times, wherever that may be.

This course aims to train individuals on the capability to carry out life-saving emergency first aid when they are the first on scene, and when there is no immediate help available. They will learn the procedures that preserve life, prevent deterioration, and promote recovery, until they can hand over the injured person to emergency medical professionals.

This training is taught by NUCO instructors who are also TQUK-certified (Training Qualifications UK). They are experienced field medics, serving as volunteers for civilian care in Mosul, Kirkuk, and other frontline areas during military operations. Not only is their certification governed by international regulatory bodies, they are also certified in Tactical Combat Casualty Care from the US, German, and Philippine armies.

Topics include:

• The role of the first aider in pre-hospital first aid and trauma care
• Point-of-injury care
• Basic Life Support (BLS) in the field
• Assessment method for the unresponsive casualty
• Catastrophic Bleeding
• Sucking chest wound, tension pneumothorax, penetrating wounds to the chest
• CPR
• Respiratory problems
• Bandaging (various types)
• Managing shock
• Explosion, burns, and trauma injuries
• Minor head injuries
• Bone injuries
• Carrying techniques

Upon completing the course, participants will be awarded the following certificates:

1. Basic Life Support (BLS) comes from NUCO Training Centre, UK (valid for 3 years).
2. Remote Area First Aid (RAFA) comes from Strategic Edge International, Switzerland (no expiration).

Please email us at:
info@strategic-edge.ch

We will then send you the training agenda, instructions on venue, and a pro-forma invoice.

Please understand that seats are limited. As such, cancellation within 48 hours prior to the course will involve a fee of 20% of the training cost.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Those affected by disaster or conflict have a right to assistance with dignity. By sector-wide consensus, one of the key ways to achieve this is by keeping the final beneficiaries at the CORE of our work.

This is, however, only possible when humanitarian aid agencies are cognizant of the fact that humanitarian work does not occur in a vacuum, but that there are principles and guidelines that ensure a globally accepted way of supporting while at the same time ensuring the responses are led by information, participation, and accountability by both agencies and beneficiaries.

This course highlights the roles, responsibilities, and commitments of the humanitarian actors responding to emergencies. The CHS is a voluntary standard which resulted from a collaboration between several agencies and is now an accepted and widely-utilize tool to improve accountability and transparency in humanitarian response.

This course is two days and will provide a comprehensive understanding of the CHS and its practical applications. It will also explore challenges to use and enable participants to develop the capacity of their organizations to implement the CHS.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• List the nine commitments of the Core Humanitarian Standard and explain how each contributes to the delivery of a quality humanitarian response
• Give examples of good practice drawn from their own experience, from other participants and more widely from the sector
• Act as advocates and peer leaders on the importance of quality, accountability and good people management in humanitarian action
• Facilitate introductory training on Core Humanitarian Standard within and or beyond their organizations

DIPLOMA DE EVALUACIÓN Y GESTIÓN DE LA CALIDAD EN LA ACCIÓN HUMANITARIA

La formation inclue les modules suivants :

• Principes de la sûreté et de la sécurité personnelle,
• Préparation d’une visite sur le terrain et d’une analyse des risques,
• Orientation et déplacement,
• Communication,
• Effets des armes,
• Sécurité des locaux,
• Rapport d’incident,
• Mines, EEI, munitions non explosées
• Violences sexuelles,
• POS / Plans de contingence,
• Premiers Secours (certificat EFR).

D’autres sujets tels que la gestion du stress et le bien-être, la gestion des comportements agressifs sont eux aussi abordés et inclus dans nos modules de formation, en particulier lors des simulations.

Tous les modules de cette formation ont été développés en combinant théorie et étude de cas et/ou cas pratiques. Ils contiennent de courtes simulations et des jeux de rôle qui permettent aux participants de revoir et pratiquer les connaissances et aptitudes acquises en session. Chaque simulation est suivie d’un débriefing permettant aux participants d’identifier leurs faiblesses et les bons gestes qu’ils ont su mettre en pratique. La simulation finale permet aux participants d’utiliser et mettre en application toutes les connaissances apprises durant la formation (reprenant tous les modules). Les modules sont dispensés par nos formateurs avec le support d’acteurs (officiers de sécurité) sur les simulations.

Merci de prendre note que cette formation n’est pas ce qui est couramment connu sous le nom de formation HEAT. Nous considérons que les objectifs d’un HEAT standard sont limités à cause du niveau de stress important et non-nécessaire qu’il produit généralement chez les participants, se concentrant sur les réactions en cas de situation critique en négligeant les bases : l’importance de la préparation et la réalité de la dynamique de groupe. Chez OSC, nous préférons que les participants évoluent dans un environnement d’apprentissage sécurisant et éveillant chez eux un sens des responsabilités. Nous souhaitons leur transmettre les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires pour les préparer à leur poste sur le terrain en les stimulant avec des situations réalistes qu’ils pourraient rencontrer sur le terrain déclenchant une situation de stress aussi limitée qu’appropriée.

Cette formation se déroule sur 3 jours et 2 nuits, elle débute le premier jour à 9h00 pour se terminer à 17h15 le troisième jour.

Tous nos formateurs sont expérimentés et qualifiés. De plus, ils sont tous formés aux gestes de premiers secours/Trauma.

Tous les participants sont assurés par OSC pour la totalité de leur présence sur le centre de formation.

Cette formation doublement certifiante délivre à chaque participant deux certificats (EFR et Highfield) internationalement reconnus.

Hostage US will hold a daylong seminar in New York focusing on how organizations can effectively respond to kidnapping through family support and hostage reintegration.

Lisa Monaco, former Assistant to President Obama for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, will be the keynote speaker and will offer reflections on handling hostage cases from within the government and key take-aways from her experience.

Jason Rezaian was imprisoned in Iran for 544 days and released in January 2016. Now a columnist with The Washington Post, he is a leading expert on Iran and the issues that face the country and region. Jason will share his personal experiences of detention and rebuilding his life after his release. Drawing on this and his extensive knowledge of Iran, he will also discuss the current situation in Iran and the wider region and what this means for the hostages who remain.

The seminar will answer key questions facing those responsible for kidnap response with organizations from security, legal, HR and communications disciplines:

• What are my organizational and individual responsibilities and legal liabilities in relation to kidnapping?
• How can my organization partner with the US Government in the event of the kidnapping of a member of staff or contractor?
• What does it feel like to experience a kidnapping first hand both as a family member and a hostage?
• How can my organization assist families in handling the psychological, legal and practical challenges during a kidnapping?
• How can my organization support former hostages in dealing with their return home and to work?
• What are the latest kidnapping trends?

It will be held at Morgan Stanley in New York .

In order to maintain the privacy of participants, the seminar will be held under the Chatham House rule and will not be open to the media.

The overall objective of the Hazardous Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) course is to prepare participants to understand and react to safety and security incidents in hostile or hazardous environments.

The course is designed for participants with a wide range of backgrounds and occupations, and with hostile environment experience ranging from none to significant. Participants will be trained to recognize and mitigate potential threats and respond appropriately to various safety and security incidents. During the HEAT course you will learn techniques on how to "take control of chaos" through classroom sessions and practical exercises. The training courses are based on our experiences and knowledge of managing an international humanitarian organization with over 4500 employees working in 35 countries around the world.

Pre-screening of training needs, close mentoring and follow-up with every participant ensures that he/she is able to understand and react appropriately to risks and security threats.

Safety and security training of the Danish Refugee Council focus on how to stay and operate, rather than on how and when to leave. Proactive and non-aggressive measures form the basis of the Danish Refugee Council’s approach to safety and security, and thus the HEAT training.
