Mock Disaster in Maine

Today was the mock disaster in Maine. it was really fun! what happened was we all got up early and went to the community center/fire department to get make-up and get our assignments. I got to have a open are fracture, cut of my face and a hurt back. my assessment was to lay on the dock in servere pain from my arm and back. then we road down to the dock in ambulances which was fun because i had never been in one before. once everything started happening i was one of the first ones to get saved so they brought be back to the fire station in the ambulance again but this time on a body board and the whole deal. then we road back to the dock because there was no body at the fire station. all in all it was really fun and i think that it did help out the rescue men because this was a trial run where nothing was really serious for them to try to figure out what they would do if a big boat did crash into a dock while there are a bunch of kids around during a sailing lesson.

Planned: I helped plan this activity because i called up the fire department and told them that i would like to help out.

Consider ethical: this is a big one for consider the ethical implications. its important because if the fire department didn't put this on then the rescues would be going on nothing when something major like this does happen. they will have no trials and errors to go on. after all of this happened i heard that htey went back to the fire station and discussed what happened and how everything went, making decisions on how to do stuff better when everything is for real


I also got the adult supervisors information
