1. How to recognize an opioid overdose; and

2. How to properly administer common opioid antagonists to reverse an opioid overdose.

c. For as long as the department determines there is an urgent public health need, the department shall offer a public awareness strategy to inform the public of the existence of such trainings and the danger of opioid addiction and abuse.
