Community Emergency Preparedness Programme (CEPP)

Introduction

In light of the current security environment, SCDF has consolidated and enhanced its instructional, face-to-face public education programme. Called the CEPP, the revamped programme was launched in September 2003 at the 4 Civil Defence Division Headquarters (CD Division HQs). The modular-based programme provides both theory and practical training and comprises 5 modules which cover Basic First Aid, One-Man Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) & Automated External Defribrillator (AED), Fire Safety & Casualty Evacuation, Emergency Procedures and Terrorism.

The programme is conducted daily at the 4 CD Division HQs on weekday evenings from 7.00 pm to 9.30 pm latest and on weekends (Saturday from 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm, Sunday from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm). The modular training package offers the residents the flexibility to choose to attend any of the 5 modules or to attend all at their own pace. In view of its popularity, the SCDF has launched a web-based CEPP in May 2009. The web-based CEPP is an on-line version of CEPP that is targeted at the internet-savvy population.
