Volunteer Role Players Needed –
Persons with Disabilities and Others with Access and Functional Needs
for District-wide Emergency Management
Exercise
On Wednesday, May 18, 2016, the District will be host
to the ‘District of Columbia 2016 Full- Scale Exercise.’ The exercise, which is
designed to assess our emergency response capabilities, will simulate a train
derailment and hazardous chemical spill. Several District agencies will
exercise at multiple locations throughout the city and focus on first response
capabilities, activating the District Emergency Operations Center, and
conducting shelter operations.
Our goal is to make this exercise as realistic as
possible and we would like to make sure that the players are a good
representation of our whole community. As a result, we are asking individuals
to volunteer as role players on the day of the exercise. These ‘actors’ will
portray displaced personnel that need to seek refuge at a shelter.
Our total recruitment goal
is 30 volunteer role players for persons with disabilities and others with
access and functional needs. No experience required! All role players must be
18 years of age or older. All volunteer role players will receive morning
refreshments, lunch, afternoon refreshments and a $45
dollar credit card-style gift card.

Registering as a role player does not guarantee
selection for participation in the exercise; all participants must successfully
pass a background check and complete a DC HSEMA participant waiver form.
Providing your date of birth is a requirement for the background check.
More
information will be provided to individuals that pass the background check.
