Wonderful volunteering opportunity 
 
Attention
  CERT Coordinators & Members: 
 
The BWI Marshall Airport and Maryland Emergency
  Management Agency (MEMA) is hosting the 2020 EPLEX Full Scale Exercise on May
  2, 2020. 
 
EPLEX is designed to test and validate the
  airport's ability to respond to an airplane crash.  
 
Actors are
  being recruited to play the roles of plane crash patients, friends and family
  seeking information about plane crash victims, and to play the roles of media
  and "other" interested parties through the exercise sim-cell.  
 
Actor's have
  the responsibility to make this exercise as realistic as possible by acting out their assigned role. Remember, emergency
  responders are depending on you in order to conduct training.  The most important thing about the
  volunteer program is to have fun. Volunteers will learn about emergency
  response and how Fire/EMS operations are conducted.  A lite breakfast and lunch will be provided
  for all volunteers.  
   
Volunteer Participation 
·         Participation is limited to those 16 years of age and older. 
·         Anyone younger than 18 years of age must have a waiver form
  filled out and signed by a parent or guardian prior to the exercise.  
 
Registration/Check-In 
·         All volunteers for EPLEX are required to pre-register using the
  provided link below. 
·         Sign-in will begin at 6:00 AM at the Gold Lot of the BWI
  Marshall Airport.  Volunteers will receive specific instructions for
  parking through email. 
·         Prior to the exercise MEMA will provide a volunteer waiver form
  to all registered volunteers via email. Please sign and bring this form with
  you to the exercise. 
 
 
    
 
Once your volunteer
  registration form is processed, you will receive an email with further
  directions and exercise waiver forms.   
 
Thank you again for your
  interest in volunteering for the BWI EPLEX!
