Volunteer Victims Needed for May 1  Exercise at Fairfax County Fire & Rescue 
Academy 

A mass-casualty  exercise will be held on Sunday May 1st at the Fairfax County
Fire &  Rescue Academy, located at 4550 West Ox Road, between U.S. Rt. 29 
(Lee  
Highway) and U.S. Rt. 50, near I66 west of Fairfax, VA. This large exercise  
will 
have over 70 Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) students from  three 
classes participating and will take placeover the entire Fire Academy  campus 
. 
Appoximately 120 "victims" are needed to provide a realistic  disaster 
simulation. 

Victim volunteers must be at least 15 years old.  Those under 18 must be 
accompanied by a parent or guardian. Anyone  interested in volunteering to be 
a 
victim for this May 1 exercise should be  at the Fire Academy by 0930 for 
moulage. Please wear clothes that can be  stained and possibly torn. Wear 
several 
layers of clothing to stay warm and  bring rain gear. Also bring snacks and 
bottled water or a bag lunch. Victims  will be processed inside the academy 
and 
only lead outside just prior to the  start of the exercise. The exercise is 
scheduled to start at approximately  1200 or 1230 and will last until about 3 
pm. 

VA_EmCom encourages radio  amateurs, GMRS users or others interested in CERT 
to 
join existing teams or  offer to assist in organizing new teams in their 
neighborhoods or work sites.  Volunteering to be a "victim" is a great opportunity 
to learn about FEMA's CERT  program and experience it "up close and 
personal." For more information about  CERT, please visit the web site:
