Customized for your program, our emergency response scenarios give your program a chance to test and refine your emergency response plans and systems. The scenario is delivered in four stages:
- Planning: We work with key personnel to design a scenario that is realistic and appropriately challenging (for example: students may be lost/overdue, or injured either in the wilderness or in a vehicle en route to a trailhead), and schedule a time for the scenario to happen
- Scenario: As scheduled, the scenario unfolds in real-time, with people playing the roles of different characters in the scenario, offering immediate responses to the choices and action steps your team takes.
- Debrief: Immediately after the scenario, key personnel are gathered together to debrief what happened, how it went, and what we can learn from the emergency response.
- Report: We provide a written summary of what happened, key findings, and recommendations based on the scenario and the debrief.
What clients are saying:
“Steve Smith has facilitated several
excellent emergency response scenarios
for our program. His realistic scenarios
and insightful facilitation have helped us
to recognize and improve weak links in
our systems. We look forward to this
event every year before sending
students into the field.”
