Hazmat Decon exercise scheduled: updated

On June 19, 2013, in Troop News, by Webmaster
code2319UPDATE:

Lafayette General Medical Center needs scout-actors for Decontamination Demonstration 2013. Next Wednesday, volunteers are meeting in the front lobby by the coffee shop at 8:30 on June 26.  They should bring a change of clothes, and one set that they don’t mind getting dirty or cut if possible. It is very likely that they will get wet as part of the demo!  We are hoping for them to put on their “acting shoes” and I certainly encourage them to play up the part of the patient!  The demo should be finished about noon.   (This is an approved service project for any scouts needing service hours — just make sure you email Mr. Barry afterwards with your participation.)  Any questions? Please email Erin Shipley at ebshipley@lgmc.com or you can call her at 289-7394.

 


 

On June 26, 2013, Lafayette General Hospital will participate in a statewide mass casualty incident drill. They are looking for 50 volunteer “victims” to practice their decon (decontamination) skills on.
The drill will be in the morning, starting about 8:00 am and lasting till about 12:00 noon.
