Fire Officers Attend Disability Awareness Training


Members of the Barbados Fire Service are better able to manage disaster and emergencies involving persons with disabilities. This is as a result of a training workshop sponsored by the Barbados Council for the Disabled at Harambee House, The Garrison, St. Michael.

The Disability Awareness in Disaster Management workshop seeks to expose emergency response personnel to sensitisation training and emergency planning for persons with disabilities. Fire Officers were reminded of the need to incorporate people with disabilities in their disaster plans and also their responsibilities to the special needs groups.
