Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming, will host a mass casualty training event on April 9. The event will involve students from the Nursing, EMS, EMT, Paramedic, and Criminal Justice programs. The training will simulate a mass casualty incident, giving students a chance to practice their skills while faculty and staff evaluate their performance.

The training will occur in and around Ashley Hall and the Yellowstone Building. Many people, emergency vehicles, and EMT/EMS personnel will be present. The college assures the public that the exercise is well-managed and there is no cause for concern.

Actors simulating an emergency situation will be supervised by faculty and staff. Faculty and staff involved in the event will be identifiable by reflective vests.

The event will feature emergency vehicles, including a medical helicopter that will land on campus in the morning and stay throughout the day. These vehicles will be located in the parking lot north of Ashley Hall and will move between Ashley Hall and the Yellowstone Building.

The Northwest College Athletics and the Safety & Security Office will oversee logistics and safety during the training. The college assures that the activities will not disrupt normal operations but will be visible throughout the day. Any questions about the training should be directed to NWC Campus Security Coordinator, Joshua Buhmann.
