KENAFRIC CONSULTING

 

Youths Against Disasters (Yads) do not only prepare and respond to disasters but we also prepare other organizations to adequately make a big difference in saving lives and protecting property through our training firm Kenafric Consulting.

 

Kenafric Consulting was founded in June 2013 and registered in Kenya on 1st April, 2014 as a National Disaster Risk Reduction consulting firm and we have continued to expand our network while providing high value added consultancy services that assist our clients in disaster and emergency preparedness and response with the aim of reducing disaster risk for sustainable community development. 

 

We have a team of professionals with the experience and skill base, dedicated to research and the need to meet our client goals at all times, that will equip your human resource with the necessary and relevant skills and knowledge and be prepared for any kind of hazard since we carry out hazard mapping and vulnerability assessment of your workplace before commencement of training.

 

Specifically we maintain a flexible team enabling us to immediately engage specifically skilled and expert resources in response to an organization urgent need. As a specialist in training for emergency/disaster preparedness and response, we are currently offering course for staff at all levels to enable them respond professionally to any situation.

 

Though it may not be possible to completely prevent a hazard from occurring, we ensure that we empower the organization to find their locally owned solutions to the problems causing disaster vulnerability and this reduces the effects of the hazard on the organization.

 

We place strong emphasis on organizational preparedness and tailor our trainings to the needs of the organization.

 

The major areas covered in our training include:

a) Introduction to disaster management

The participants are introduced to the concepts relevant to disaster management and then to the various phases of the disaster management cycle namely:

i) The emergency/disaster mitigation phase where hazard mapping and preventive technology, structural and non structural measures are introduced for hazards identified as specific to the organization and general hazards affecting the larger community.

ii) The emergency/disaster preparedness phase involves training on measures the organization can put in place to adequately prepare emergency plans (preparedness plan, response plan, contingency plan etc) and create awareness on the same. 

iii) The   emergency/disaster response phase prepare the organization on the activation of the disaster/emergency response plan, allocation of resources and the establishment of the emergency operation centre and the incident command system.

iv) The emergency/ disaster recovery phase training prepares the organization on how to bring back the organization to where it were before the disaster and make the organization even more resilient to the disaster should the hazard occur again in the future.

b)  Crowd Control

 

In many incidents, the issue of crowd control has been a major challenge in response to disaster situations and the participants are taken through on the best ways to control the surging crowd and make good use of the bystanders for the purposes of saving lives.
c) First Aid Skills

 

Disaster situations are characterized by multiple injuries and life threatening situations that require immediate assistance before the arrival of qualified medical practitioners or before the victims are transferred for specialized treatment. The participants are taken through the basics of first aid in order to be able to save life and minimize further injuries.
d) Fire Safety/ Evacuation and Audit

 

Fire is a common workplace hazard and the participants are taken through the basic drills of fire management, the use of fire extinguishers and the evacuation procedure. We also carry out audit of the organization fire preparedness and write a report to the organization with the recommendations on the latest preventive technology.
Apart from taking the participants through the preparation of various plans, we also specialize in writing contingency plans, preparedness plans and response plans for organizations.
