Title

Arriving and setting up

2

Type of Exercise

Functional exercise

3

Phase of the disaster response

Arrival and set up

4

Purpose

The purpose of this exercise is to allow EMT members to become familiar with the main activities to be accomplished in the initial phase of the deployment, on arrival in the affected country/area. All EMT members should be aware of the network and registration procedures involved on this first phase of deployment and work collaboratively to build up a suitable facility to deliver EMT services.

5

Scope

This exercise simulates the arrival and set up of the EMT in Montyland. On arrival participants will need to meet relevant authorities and organizations managing the response to the earthquake (OSOCC, EMTCC), obtain important information, and get registered to work as an EMT in the country. Once registered, accepted to deliver their services and assigned to a specific location, the EMT members will move to their allocated site and set up the EMT facility, getting familiar with their field hospital equipment.

6

General objectives

  • To be aware of the communication and registration procedures on arrival in the disaster area
  • To build up the field hospital in the target area
  • To get familiar with the field equipment and logistics

See the complete table with learning objectives in the annex « Exercise 2 - Learning Objectives ».

40 min Familiarization with field equipment Once the hospital is set up the trainers will ask team members to gather and go through the facility together to familiarise with the main field equipment and logistics. One or several team members (according to their expertise) should be appointed to show their colleagues the basics of:

  • Facility areas and patient flow
  • Power
  • Water and sanitation
  • Communication
  • Waste management
  • Security within the facility
  • Special considerations for the medical equipment (e.g. cold chain, oxygen devices, etc)

Trainers and facilitators have carefully read the exercise objectives and description

There is a dedicated room/space to simulate the RDC office and EMTCC office

There is an appropriate space for the team to set up the field hospital

All the needed materials (see Resources section) are available There is some extra logistics support to help the team while setting- up, if needed (this is especially important if the training team wants to make participants to build up a complex facility with full capacities, or the team is not very experienced)
