Survival, evacuation backpack, home and car preparation for the crisis, and many another crucial information. Courses are underway for instructors of the Territorial Defence Brigades, who will be conducting classes as part of the general voluntary training “On Standby”. It's an all-day program where they systematize cognition and learn to transmit it in a simple, condensed way.
Universal training programme "In-Ready" announced the Ministry of Defence a fewer weeks ago. The pilot's on the decision soon. The instructors gotta prepare for it first. The first circular – 30 soldiers from all over Poland – took all-day classes on 4 November at the SONDA Sub-Office School in Zegrzu. Another group is training today. After this course, the territorials will travel to their units, where they will pass on acquired cognition to next teacher candidates. “We prepare them to conduct pro-defense classes with civilians, which will be conducted throughout the country as part of the universal, voluntary training program “On Preparedness”, says St. Chor. staff. Peter Pechta, Commandant SONDA Sub-Office School in Zegrzu. Ensign emphasizes that courses are needed not only due to military danger, but just all day – in the event of any crisis or even during a journey to the mountains, when, for example, an accidental tourist will request pre-medical aid or will get lost on the trail. The pilot program will start in November.
Key information
Instructors train in the area of the tactical exercise area in Zegrzu. At the first glance, cyber-security classes are being discussed, where the most crucial threats can be posed to network users, as well as how to recognise and defend themselves from them. quite a few emphasis is on fake news to learn to admit them. During the lecture, participants exchanged experiences resulting from erstwhile contacts with civilians during another trainings, e.g. within the framework of “Train with the Army”. It has been pointed out that many people are inactive unaware of the dangers and do not even usage the simplest methods of protection, specified as the reservation of their PESEL number – thus beginning a consecutive way for fraudsters who are just waiting for it.

Attractive Transmission
Subsequently, the territories undergo training at subsequent teaching points, where the most crucial issues concerning first medical assistance, survival, evacuation backpack and water and food are pointed out and recalled. “The emphasis is on methodology, i.e. the way cognition is passed on so that it is tailored to the needs of civilians whose instructors will shortly train,” says Fr Anna Jackowska-Michaelak, spokeswoman of the SONDA Suboffice School. Because, as he explains, the point is to supply key safety information as rapidly as possible in the short term.
– It is crucial to convey cognition as attractive and transparent as possible. For possible students to be able to usage it besides in everyday life – believes the associate of the training, Lt. Norbert Olszewski of the 6th Mazovian Territorial Defence Brigade, and points out that during the training, civilians will be able to get the skills needed in many situations, specified as burning fires, water for drinking, building shelters. They learn crucial tips on topography. They'll learn how to function erstwhile the GPS stops working. But this is besides a place where they will remember the most crucial principles of first aid. Students will learn what to put in the evacuation backpack. How much water should be contained in it, what kind of food to pack, how to defend your clothes from getting wet, and for which items you should effort to save on weight, and in which cases it does not play a role. This is, for example, erstwhile it comes to chargers. It's worth packing 1 that charges the telephone quickly, not the 1 that weighs less. At the next training point, instructors systematize the cognition of the site's topography to then effectively teach the improvement of transition routes erstwhile major routes are blocked, for example, by military transports or traffic jams.
To know how to react
– It is very crucial to know your own territory around your home. To know where the nearest well is manually pumped, where there are medical points, the nearest hospital, shelters – e.g. in schools that are adapted to supply shelter in the event of an emergency or disaster – the teacher mentions. Course participants will be able to learn how to prepare their home or car in case of a crisis. Because, as the instructors emphasize, these classes are meant to make people realize that we are not surviving in a safe world. We request to be prepared. – Chaos and panic arise from deficiency of knowledge. Therefore, 1 needs to be trained and educated to know how to react," concludes Mr Jacekowska-Michael.
