Seeking Volunteers: Radiation CRC Exercise – 2017 Preparedness Summit

Mar 28, 2017 | Raymond Puerini

NACCHO in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be coordinating the set-up of a mock radiation Community Reception Center (CRC) in the exhibit hall during lunch on both Wednesday, April 26 and Thursday, April 27 at the 2017 Preparedness Summit. The mock CRC will have stations that simulate the functions that need to be performed at a CRC including: initial sorting, first aid, contamination screening, decontamination, registration, and dose assessment/re-screening.

The session will also serve as an opportunity to demonstrate the newly developed CRC Epi Info™ Tool. Each station will be equipped with a laptop to enter in mock patient information and a station to display aggregate data collected during the exercise in the Epi Info dashboard interface. Preparedness Summit attendees will be provided with a simple scripts with simulated exposure/injury information to help direct their movement through the CRC model and inform the entry of data at each station. Actual radiation monitoring equipment and CRC resources will be used in the simulated activity when possible.

Volunteer to Staff the Exercise
Open volunteer shifts are still available, if you are planning to attend the Preparedness Summit and would like to volunteer to assist as CRC staff person or Epi Info data collector. No previous experience with radiation or Epi Info is needed in order to volunteer. If interested, you may sign-up for up to two volunteer shifts (volunteer shifts are marked in orange and noted as “Volunteer” in the Agency column).
