he St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment is seeking volunteers to role play as victims in a Bioterrorism exercise on June 15, 2005.
During the exercise, St. Charles and other Region C counties, will demonstrate and assess their emergency response plans by operating medication dispensing sites.
A medication dispensing site would be used, in the event of a Bioterrorism attack or widespread disease outbreak, to distribute medication to large numbers of people as efficiently and quickly as possible.
On the day of the exercise, volunteers will attend an orientation, receive lunch, be assigned a role playing card and then proceed through the medication clinic as a “victim”. Volunteer orientation will begin at 11:30am and the exercise will conclude at 3:00pm.
To volunteer or get more information please contact Hope Woodson, Public Health Response Planner at
636-949-7554.
