Level Two
Prepare UCARES members to have a supporting role in Emergency Operations
At this level, our aim is to strengthen your ability to support emergency operations effectively. Building on the foundation laid in Level One, you will enhance your skills and equipment, preparing you to take on more significant responsibilities. Completing this level will ensure that you are well-equipped and ready to provide crucial support during emergency responses.
How do I get credit?
