Facilitated Training & Certification

ZDR3 encourages network responders to seek training that will prepare them to manage acute emergencies, including First Aid, CPR, Stop the Bleed®, automated external defibrillator (AED), and Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). When we offer workshops that include these instructional opportunities, we coordinate with specialized instructors to facilitate certified training. The ZDR3 Network includes a number of certified trainers who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to provide training to their peers.
