2014 Medical Reserve Corps Disaster Exercise
Stanislaus County Medical Reserve Corps volunteers train to prepare for emergencies and disasters. The September 2014 Alternate Care Site exercise tested Stanislaus County health care and emergency response systems by overwhelming local hospitals with injured patients, requiring alternate care site deployment.

Volunteers needed Saturday, June 13 to serve as disaster victims displaced from their homes. Volunteers will learn about disaster preparedness in Stanislaus County and will go through the sheltering process. Volunteers will be given scenario scripts to act out that include health issues and other challenges often encountered in a shelter environment to provide exercise training participants with "real world" experience. Adults and families with accompanying minors (14+) are invited to participate for this two hour event. FREE LUNCH provided for all volunteers!
