Our services
Education, equipment and outreach, delivered to the communities where resources are thinnest and response times are longest.
IERF delivers practical, accessible emergency preparedness training that empowers people to act when every second counts. Through a combination of hands-on instruction, online courses, real-world scenarios and community-based drills, we teach individuals, families and neighborhoods how to prevent emergencies, respond safely, and support one another until professional help arrives.
More about Emergency Preparedness Training
IERF's training programs are built to create confident, capable responders, whether you're a community member, a workplace team or a public safety professional. Our courses combine real-world emergency response techniques with hands-on practice, giving participants the skills they need to take lifesaving action before EMS arrives.
More about Training Courses
Our Community Disaster Resilience Outreach program strengthens neighborhoods before disaster strikes. We partner directly with local leaders, schools and residents to promote emergency planning, hazard awareness and practical response strategies.
More about Community Disaster Resilience
In Florida, IERF supports rural volunteer fire departments and rescue squads that often operate on extremely limited budgets. Many of these agencies struggle to access affordable continuing education or Medical First Responder courses, leaving their members without the training required to stay certified. We fill that gap by providing low-cost or free training options, flexible scheduling and U.S.-standard instruction that helps departments maintain readiness without straining their budgets.
More about First Responder Training
IERF is dedicated to supporting public safety by donating lifesaving resources like preparedness kits and first aid supplies. Through your generous support, we're able to equip local emergency responders and provide free community training programs that save lives.
