Disaster Relief Chainsaw Training
Join Freshwater’s Disaster Relief Chainsaw Crew – Training Opportunity in Hannibal!
Freshwater is excited to announce that we are establishing a Disaster Relief Chainsaw crew for our association of churches! Our region has needed this for some time, and we are perfectly positioned to lead the way. Men and women are encouraged to come to this training.
We are looking to take at least 15 people to attend the Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief Training at Immanuel Baptist Church in Hannibal on September 5-6, 2025. This training will equip you with the skills to earn your “yellow hat” and become part of our Disaster Relief Chainsaw crew. These teams are deployed during disasters to provide critical help to those in need—a powerful way to serve on mission!
Training Details:
Location: Immanuel Baptist Church, Hannibal, MO
Date: September 5-6, 2025
Cost: $45 for first-time attendees; $25 for re-certifying/cross-training
Training Offered: Chainsaw (our focus), plus Chaplaincy, Mass Care/Feeding, Flood Recovery, Childcare, Communications, Shower/Laundry, Heavy Equipment Safety, Incident Management (IMT), and more. (Some courses have prerequisites—check the flier.)
Schedule: Online (see website for details)
Meals & Lodging: Dinner, breakfast, and lunch are included. Lodging is available in Hannibal, similar to disaster call-out conditions, to prepare you for the experience.
