whY IT MATTERS

When water intrusion hits, seconds matter—and your facility’s response can make the difference between a quick recovery and a costly disaster. Without the right training, teams often face:

  • Extended downtime and preventable damage
  • Mold growth and contamination due to improper drying
  • Expensive outsourcing to contractors for issues your team could handle in-house
Ready 2 Respond University gives your staff the confidence and capability to respond fast, reduce long-term damage, and protect your people, property, and budget.

what you'll learn

This course is built for real-world facility challenges—not generic, high-level theory. Your team will learn how to:

  • Execute Emergency Water Response Protocols: Identify categories of water damage, assess risks, and triage incidents with precision.
  • Understand the Science of Drying: Learn how water behaves, how air movement drives evaporation, and how to create the right conditions for effective drying.
  • Master Professional Equipment: Get hands-on training with dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, and extraction tools used by industry pros.
  • Mitigate Damage & Document Properly: Track moisture, monitor progress, and create accurate reports that support accountability and compliance.

Hands-On, Real-World Training - Experience water response in a controlled flood house—where you’ll practice extraction, drying techniques, equipment setup, and decision-making in scenarios that mirror real facility emergencies.

Practical Skills You Can Use Immediately - Walk away ready to minimize damage, prevent unnecessary costs, and accelerate recovery the moment you get back to your facility.
