TRAINING
PHAMA Foundation believes that organizations need to be well trained in order to develop acceptable emergency response plans to prepare for natural or manmade disasters. Emergencies occur everyday. With the specter of terrorism, insecurity, fire, earthquake, flood and other nature and manmade disasters, the dangers facing communities, employees, facilities, and operations are perhaps greater than they have been.

To mitigate these threats, organizations must have professionally trained personnel who are able to detect threats and determine what effective measures/ countermeasures to be taken whilst making best use of internal resources as well as external emergency services. Emergency response planning is the development and implementation of policies, procedures, and organized team(s) designed to stabilize the effects of an incident.
Failure to train, develop, and maintain adequate response plans has always been our undoing as a nation and has resulted in unnecessary damage to property, injury and death of persons. It has even crippled some organizations.
PHAMA Foundation team is staffed with professional trainers who help organizations develop the capability to respond effectively to whatever peril that threatens people property, operations, or the environment.
