EVENT REMINDER
Calhoun's EMS and Nursing Students to Conduct Mass Casualty Training Drill TOMORRROW
Students from the Emergency Medical Services and Nursing programs at Calhoun Community College will conduct a mock mass casualty training drill tomorrow, Thursday, April 24, 2014, beginning at 10:00 am in the area of the Aerospace Training Center and the Health Sciences Center on the Decatur campus.
The mock disaster will simulate a scenario involving a threat to persons/property which has just occurred on campus. The specific circumstances of the mock disaster have not been announced in order to preserve the "realness" of the event. Past mock drill scenarios have included a bus crash, bomb threat, and an active shooter incident. So that students, staff and visitors to the campus will not confuse the drill with a real situation, notices have gone out across the college and signs indicating a training drill is currently underway will be posted in the area of the activity.
Calhoun nursing students will receive the "patients" from the EMS students for treatment at the college's "hospital", located in the Health Sciences Center.~~ In addition to Calhoun EMS and Nursing faculty, Calhoun Police and Security personnel and area fire, EMS agencies, area police departments and air medical flight services from MedFlight will participate with the students in this endeavor.
