Volunteering - Be a pretend patient for hospital evacuation exercise

Here is something for those that want to help, but don't want to have to 'do' a whole lot...

In this practice exercise, Boulder County has been hit by severe weather that damages two major hospitals - victims and hospital patients need to be evacuated and transferred. Volunteer victims and patients will be staged at one of five hospitals: Avista Adventist, Boulder Community, Boulder Foothills, Exempla Good Samaritan, and Longmont United. This evacuation and surge drill will test the ability of our local hospitals to respond to naturally occurring disasters. Great project for business teams and service groups. Lunch provided. Nov. 13. 8 a.m. - noon. Groups and individuals will be assigned to locations as requests are made.
