Calhoun's Mock Casualty Drill Scheduled for April 23
Students from the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Nursing programs will conduct a mock mass casualty training drill on Thursday, April 23, 2015, beginning at 9:30 am in the area of the Health Sciences Center and Kelley Gymnasium on the Decatur campus.
The mock disaster will simulate a scenario involving a threat to persons/property which has just occurred on campus. Approximately 25-30 simulated casualties will be a part of the exercise and will be portrayed by Calhoun Allied Health students, who will have a full range of mock injuries.
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.
The specific circumstances of the mock disaster will not be 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 will go out across the college and signs indicating a training drill is currently underway will be posted in the area of the activity.
