Dentalgram June 2002 School of Dentistry participates in campus-wide disaster drill A victim of chemical exposure is decontaminated during the recent campus-wide disaster drill. LLU&MC participated in the drill. The School of Dentistry participated in a campus-wide “shelter-in-place” disaster drill on Wednesday, May 1. A mock chemical incident was staged and the fire department, law enforcement, an ambulance company, and various LLU&MC campus agencies worked together to practice their response. Employees were asked to stay within their buildings so that dangerous chemical fumes would not enter. In Prince Hall, exit monitors blocked each entrance, and would not let people enter or leave the building during the drill. A decontamination area was set up in a parking lot in front of the Medical Center, and the fire department practiced decontaminating victims, with ambulances waiting.   After receiving the call that a disaster involving the release of chemicals has occurred, members of the fire department suit up to respond. Exit monitor Cindy Adell, holds the red disaster plan notebook while she guards the front entrance to Prince Hall during the shelter-in-place disaster drill. She is an employee in the School’s urgent care clinic.   University | Medical_Center | LLU&MC_home | Search | Employment | News_&_events | Academics | Our_mission | Admissions | Registration | Research | Alumni | Student_resources All contents copyright © 2001 Loma Linda University.
