Bounce Day aims to improve community resilience through an integrated disaster response experience that provides opportunities for education, collaboration, and innovation. Bounce Day is put on by a collaboration of Mayo Clinic researchers, educators and students, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Military medical personnel, local medical alliances, theatre groups and lay community members. Actors simulating illness (zombies) and those affected by the crumbling of society will interact with participants learning both medical and nonmedical response protocols ranging from vaccination and treatment to refugee camp management and security.

4-Step Family Emergency Communication Plan

Identify a friend or relative who lives out-of-town for everyone to notify. Make sure you tell this person they're the contact.
MEMORIZE their number AND save it as "ICE" (in case of emergency) in all phones and carry it on paper in your purse, wallet or backpack.
If possible, text don't call this person in an emergency. Text messages can often get around network disruptions when a phone call might not be able to get through.
