ERS Training
Butler County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Services Training
Upcoming 2024 training.
The “Disaster Preparedness and Survival” course is designed to teach and encourage community members impacted by a disaster to prepare, take preservation actions and perform, as appropriate, light search and rescue response to aid their family and other community members in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster or human-made incident.
- This course is not intended for the professional responder; however, it would be beneficial for the responder’s family
- The training does not qualify the participants to serve in an emergency responder role

Miscellaneous Info
- There may also be a pre-test that needs completed prior to class (see included files). Don’t worry about doing well on the pre-test. The pre-test simply helps the instructor gauge the overall class knowledge and adapt as needed. Once the Pre-Test is complete you will have access to download the class materials (you may print the student manual or you may view it on your electronic device). All other instructions will be given during class. Just a heads-up, there may be a post-test after class as well. TEEX likes to see that students are actually learning something (i.e. you’re leaving the classroom with more knowledge than you entered).
- TEEX has gone digital. Students will need to bring an electronic device (i.e. smart phone, tablet, or computer) with them to class to access course material (student manuals) and Post Test.
