International Emergency Resilience Foundation
Help arrives in minutes. Survival is decided in seconds.
IERF trains ordinary people to act before help gets there. CPR, bleeding control and disaster readiness for households and neighborhoods, across Florida first and in Panama, where we serve.
Who we are
Community-driven emergency solutions.
IERF strengthens community resilience by providing lifesaving training, emergency preparedness, and support to underserved communities.
We bring lifesaving education, rapid response and practical resilience strategies to underserved and at-risk communities, designed to help everyday people take immediate action during medical emergencies, disasters or crises, especially where resources are limited and response times are longer.
Empowerment through knowledge saves lives.
More about IERF
What we train for
Lifesaving training, before help arrives.
Resilience is not built during an emergency. It is built in the rooms, weeks and months beforehand.
Days, not minutes
When Helene cut the roads through Appalachia, whole communities were on their own for days before anyone could reach them. Preparedness is what a household has when help is not coming yet: water, a plan, and a way to find each other.
