Looks pretty much identical to what's taught and practiced in CERTs (Community Emergency Response Teams) and NETs (Neighborhood Emergency Team) here in the states. They expand on the knots a bit though, which is nice. More info on CERTs.

It was pretty fun training and practice, I'd recommend people do it. Afterwards you decide how further involved you want to get. There's your local team you can be involved with, or more training, or just not do anything but make sure your own house and family are more prepared.
