Desert and Hot Weather Survival Training

Enviro-Tech International’s desert and hot weather survival training is designed to provide vital training and skills to individuals and organizations operating in hot environments in the United States or abroad. The training is especially valuable to personnel who spend the bulk of their time away from vehicles or shelter in dry or humid environments where extreme heat is common. Hot climate courses can be tailored to desert or tropical environments.

Courses explore the most important aspects of survival. Beginning with what happens during a survival emergency, the short-term psychological stresses that play a role in decision-making and panic, individual and group dynamics, injuries and how they affect survival planning, hyperthermia, and heat illness, and essential survival equipment and kits. The training emphasizes an organized approach to safety and survival, teaching important priorities such as shelter, shade, fire, and heat, keeping cool, preventing dehydration, water and food requirements, signaling, staying where you are, and when to go for help. The courses are packed with vital information and skills that all people working in hot weather conditions will find valuable. The programs are taught using a fast-moving interactive approach with a combination of discussions, demonstrations, simulations, and hands-on participation.

We specialize in on-site training programs, which reduce travel and training budgets and provide a training experience that is more relevant to participants. All of our training programs are tailored to meet your specific requirements.

Course Format

Courses can be presented in several formats. From classroom-only presentations to a 2 - 5 day format. The most common format is three consecutive days of training. The first day is conducted in the classroom, with the remainder of the time spent in the field. Our extended courses provide additional time to emphasize other specific survival skills. The major concepts of the training are listed below.
