Flood Awareness for Law Enforcement & Non-Rescuers – Online Training Course

Flood Awareness Training for Law Enforcement & Non-Rescuers

When responding to flood emergencies, law enforcement officers and non-rescue personnel are often tasked with securing perimeters, directing traffic, or protecting property – not performing rescues. But floodwaters still pose serious risks, even from the sidelines.

This online, self-paced course was built specifically for non-rescuers, helping you understand where the hazards begin and how to keep yourself and others safe around flood zones.

You’ll learn:

• The different types of floodwater and why they matter

• How to identify hidden risks in dynamic water environments

• Where and how to position safely without becoming a victim

• What not to do – and how to avoid the most common mistakes

• How to communicate and coordinate effectively with rescuers

This course was developed by law enforcement professionals for those who work near, but not in, floodwaters. It provides critical awareness without pretending you’re a water rescue specialist.

✔ Designed for patrol officers, emergency management staff, and non-rescue responders
✔ Self-paced, 30–45 minutes
✔ Certificate of Completion included
