Virus outbreak simulated event in N. Florida – Oct 17th
There are very few times where the disabled can help the first helpers on a scene to understand the best way to help those that are in trouble – this is one of them. Pandemic Pandemonium is an exercise for North Florida neighborhood and community leaders. The idea is to use real residents as a group that has a "virtual" version of the H1N1 virus and how the area hospitals, doctors and others would deal with an emergency situation. There are a group of scenarios that are run through during the year to help different groups of people including firemen, police and others. You can register to be part of this and we would strongly recommend it. The training is free and gives everyone a chance to see how the community would deal with disasters and what each person can do to make this run better. For more information go to the website http://www.drc-group.com.exercise/pandemic/leon.
Just as we recommend that you stay in touch with your congressman and senators, we also recommend that you become part of local emergency simulations. Everyone has something to bring to the table and this lets the disabled become part of the action where they can help and community leaders learn about new people that can help during emergencies. Rather than sitting at home and staring at the television get out of the house and help those around you. This not only lets you help others, but the community learns about you and what your needs are during an emergency. So instead of being stuck at home, the police know about you and can quickly send help to get you out of the house. Become part of something larger than yourself that changes throughout the year providing help and training to everyone. Don’t be just a victim that sits in the house waiting for something to go wrong, getting out of the house will make your life better by getting yo9u hooked up with people across all social boundaries.
