TRAINER'S GUIDE

This guide is a companion to the module on Disaster Assessment, and is designed to help you present the material in an interesting and interactive manner. There are two parts of this guide. The first, "The Basics" gives some advice for the presentation of any material for an adult audience. The second, "The Specifics" relates specifically to the module on Disaster Assessment. It provides a step by step guide through the presentation of the material covered complete with overheads, group exercises, and even reminders for taking breaks as needed. Although the guide can be the basis for a complete and structured presentation, your creativity and response to the dynamics of the training session are essential to providing a good learning experience. Improvise as you see fit, and always remember to relate the material presented to the experiences and needs of the participants.
