2022 Testimonial from RE:ACT Disaster Response
All of their International Disaster Responders attend this course
‘I’ve recently returned from an overseas deployment with an NGO which operates internationally and can confidently state that my training with remote area risk international has been utilised in many respects including both remote area medical and risk management training.
Risk management considerations: including operating quad bikes, locally sourced vehicles, marine craft, environmental/operational hazards (e.g. rainwater harvesting catchment areas with large drops into the tanks and contaminated water/hurricane battered infrastructure/etc).
Remote Area Medical: In addition to other risk management issues, there were medical risk management considerations. We were working on multiple islands with various vector borne diseases notably dengue. Risk mitigation implementation and consideration was necessary from two perspectives - both a personal point of view and also as a remote area medic. Issues such as swimming in the sea (let’s review rip tides, local knowledge, plan to mitigate risk) through to our transit day of waiting for a flight (we ended up tabbing to a specific location in 31 degree heat (felt like 38 according to weather channel) and very high humidity). Overall, medical risk and non medical risk management planning & knowledge worked hand in hand very well.
I highly recommend any medic to attend your remote area risk management course.
Minimal medical issues ultimately transpired. I felt more confident in managing deployed life. All testament to the courses I’ve attended via Remote Area Risk International.

"You have one excellent teacher there."
"The presentation was brilliant, clear and easy to understand. The delivery was also fantastic, clear, knowledgeable and easy to listen to. there were also pictures, handouts, and useful equipment provided throughout, enhancing our learning and understanding."
"Extremely worthwhile, it gave me the tools and knowledge to understand how to protect myself while working outdoors, and improve my understanding of correct protocols to follow to get myself and the group out of dangerous and potentially hazardous situations. The use of direct examples, and extensive knowledge of the man running the course helped cement the information, and give the information more meaning."
R2Ri presented an OSSM course I attended recently. Their instructor has an engaging manner and wealth of key experience, making the course informative, approachable and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
