| 2006 Emergency Preparedness Challenge: April 7-8, 2006 |
Middle TN Medical Reserve Corps
(MTMRC), local hospitals and other
emergency response organizations
are preparing to evaluate the greater
area Nashville emergency response
capability. The Emergency Preparedness
Challenge will take place April
7-8, 2006 and will give MTMRC and
other Nashville emergency response
organizations the chance to evaluate
capabilities and availability of members
by providing surge capacity for
multiple area healthcare organizations
during multiple simulated catastrophes.
Specific roles are in place for
all MTMRC members including medically
licensed, non-licensed, and non-medical members of the MTMRC. Families of members
wishing to participate may also have a role in the exercise.
This drill is an important opportunity for MTMRC to activate our membership, simulating
as closely as possible, local disaster response and in the process, build relationships
within the emergency response community, and assess critical needs. All members are
strongly encouraged to plan on participating on April 7th and/or 8th as well as attending
TBA trainings.
Please RSVP your availability for April 7-8 to MTMRC@vanderbilt.edu |

The MTMRC Student Corps exists to prepare students in the medical, nursing, medical technology, and otherwise interested disciplines to assist their communities throughout the year and in times of need by providing training, leadership, and mentoring opportunities.
Disaster triage is the process of sorting patients based on urgency of assumed medical condition. In the situation of mass casualty many basic actions have to change with a focus away from the single individual and how the most patients can be helped with the resources at hand. |
