Hey, guys! Want to wear make-up and get away with it? Now's your chance!!! Intrigued? Read on!!!
Some time in June a disaster will occur in the Danbury area, and you are invited to be a "victim."
Danbury will be host to the Woodbury County countywide drill this year. The goal is to allow not only Danbury's emergency services to practice their training, but to give area agencies, including services from our neighboring communities from this and from other counties, to experience the intensity of a "real" disaster. While the exact date and the disaster are not going to be disclosed to ensure the participating squads do not learn what they will be called out for, the big event will take place in mid to late June.
In order to successfully host the disaster, Danbury Ambulance Service is seeking 30-40 victims. You do not need to be from Danbury to participate. Some of you will be "slightly injured" while others will be "critical" and still others will "die." We will be using make-up to create bruises, cuts, and other injuries on our patients. This will enable the squads to practice a wide variety of skills and will be realistic of a true disaster. If you are interested in participating in the drill, even if you may need to back out due to conflicts as the day nears, please contact Lynn Buth at 712-893-2160 (if necessary, leave a message with your phone number) or email Lynn at buth@danbury-ia.com. A list of "patients" will be compiled, and these people will be contacted as the target date nears to see if they are still able to participate. Remember, even if you might have a conflict (little league comes to mind), please call if you are interested. Making the call will not commit you at this time.
