PeaceHealth Peace Harbor
Medical Center in Florence,
in coordination with local
emergency
responders,
will be conducting a mock
mass-casualty
drill
on
Wednesday, Aug. 19.
The drill is scheduled
to start around 8 a.m. at
Siuslaw High School and
will continue throughout the
Florence City Wide
Garage Sale
September 11-13, 2015
presented by
the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce
morning, concluding around
11 a.m.
The drill will test the
preparedness and response of
local agencies should a
real disaster occur.
The
event,
staged
by PeaceHealth, will focus
on response plans for an actu-
al disaster that would
trigger a sudden influx of
patients,
media,
and
concerned community mem-
bers in addition to the day to
day patient activity at the hos-
pital.
It will also provide on-
scene training for local emer-
gency responders.
The full scale mass-casual-
ty drill is being conducted
in collaboration with multiple
partner agencies including
PeaceHealth, Western Lane
Ambulance District, Siuslaw
Valley Fire and Rescue,
Florence Police Department,
City of Florence, Citizen
Emergency Response Teams
(CERT),
Life
Flight,
REACH Air Medical Services
and Siuslaw School District,
through use of the district’s
property.
The scenario for the prac-
tice event is a simulated
explosion in the high school
shop.
Volunteers will be partici-
pating in the exercise to play
the roles of patients and fami-
ly members.
In addition to the planned
participants,
community
members are welcome to
view the training as it will
provide real-life crowd con-
trol training for emergency
responders.
Onlookers are encouraged
to watch but are reminded
to be respectful to the fact
that it is a training to better
prepare the hospital and
responders.
Organizers caution that the
event is a significant exercise
and the local community
can expect to see emergency
responders at PeaceHealth
Peace
Harbor
Medical
Center and Siuslaw High
School looking and acting
as if it were a true disaster.
