A simulated occurrence will initiate the incident

The Actor Controller will instruct you to “react”

Responders will arrive on the scene and begin to assess the situation

You may not see responders immediately. Response activities will evolve slowly because responders will need to protect themselves from the threat

Those of you who are non-ambulatory (can’t walk) may be there awhile

Important!! Continue to display your “symptoms” throughout the exercise. DO NOT STOP ACTING

Emergency responders will begin to decontaminate the victims

Be prepared to be decontaminated. You should be wearing a swimsuit – you will be asked to remove your clothes!

During decontamination, you will be hosed off with water

Your clothing and other personal items should be bagged and tagged. You will be told where to collect your valuables at the end of the exercise
