Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) is a comprehensive 5 day program designed to prepare individuals for working or traveling in high-risk or potentially dangerous environments. The training typically covers a wide range of topics, including personal security, risk assessment, emergency first aid, navigation, and crisis management. The goal of HEAT is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent, avoid, and respond to potential threats or incidents.

 This training is often required for journalists, aid workers, and other professionals who may find themselves in conflict zones or areas affected by natural disasters.
