Written By Guest User

Received on behalf of Infragard (partnership between the FBI and members of the private sector), we wanted to share this great resource in support of awareness and education for dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. Please share it with your friends, family and colleagues.

Dear InfraGard Members,

An InfraGard National partner, Northeastern University’s Global Resilience Institute, has just launched a short online course that provides life-saving skills for dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak.  Please feel free to share this with your families and colleagues.

The course is on a web platform that allows universal access.  We are hoping that corporations, companies, and organizations will push this out to their employees. With everyone studying online and working online, this seems to be the best way to have a trusted source get this critical information directly to as many as possible with the encouragement that they spend the under one-hour to work their way through the self-navigating, 9 short-modules for the course:

1.    Introduction to Being Safe and Resilient
2.    Mastering Washing Your Hands
3.    Avoid Touching Your Face to Reduce Risk
4.    Managing Your Household
5.    Disinfecting Your Surfaces
6.    Properly Using Masks and Gloves
7.    Navigating Public Spaces
8.    Staying Connected with Older Relatives, Neighbors, and Friends
9.    Enhancing Community Resilience by Becoming a COVID-19 Leader

In addition to providing this urgently needed life-saving information for dealing with the rapid spread of COVID-19, we believe that this will help to reduce anxiety as well. Ideally it will inspire and empower all who take it to reach out to others to share what they have learned. The final module in the online course is a call-to-action. 

Leveraging all the latent capacity in our civil society will be instrumental to our getting through this. Americans need to pull together at the household, neighborhood and community levels to help each other out while limited government and health sector resources are directed to those in most need. This is an “All Hands-on Deck” moment in our history, and we appreciate all that you as InfraGard members are doing to help out in this challenging time.

Sincerely,
Gary Gardner, Chairman
Maureen O’Connell, President
InfraGard National
