Where? Gamehaven Scout Reservation
When? September 13, 2014; 8:00 AM – 2:30PM
What? Live action, hands-on training in a simulated
disaster (zombie apocalypse) environment. What began
in 2011 as a way to introduce medical students to the skills needed to
participate in humanitarian aid involving medical care in austere environments
has evolved into a model event that offers communication and technical awareness
training and skill building for individual participants and serves as a
community resilience resource.
How? Actors simulating
injury/illness will interact with participants who will have specific job
assignments and expectations. Tailored
learning objectives will allow participants with various skill levels to
participate appropriately and learn from their experience. During the event, static informational
stations will allow all participants, actors, faculty, and adult leadership to
expand their knowledge of various disaster-related topics.
Why? To improve community resilience through an
integrated disaster response experience that provides opportunities for
education, collaboration, and innovation.
