About

This manual provides a training exercise for emergency responders. It focuses on handling a school bus accident with 32 people, including children. The exercise involves hospital staff, EMS workers, and coalition leaders to improve disaster response skills. Participants discuss communication between EMS and hospitals, surge capacity during emergencies, and agreements with other agencies. The manual outlines roles like players who act in the scenario and observers who provide feedback. It aims to prepare participants for real-life emergencies by evaluating their responses and identifying areas for improvement through discussions and feedback forms.
