Disaster Simulation Exercise to Be Held at Kent Campus, Nov. 15 and 17

5XÉçÇø’s College of Nursing, in collaboration with the Portage County Health Department and the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) will stage a disaster simulation exercise on Tuesday, Nov. 15, and Thursday, Nov. 17, from 8:30-11 a.m. at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.

The Point of Dispensing Exercise will involve a mock Anthrax release, triage and treatment site. Volunteers from the Medical Reserve Corps and Kent State faculty, staff and students will participate as victims going through the triage and treatment stations during the simulation exercise.

The mock exercise allows the Portage County Health Department and the EMA to test the effectiveness of Portage County’s disaster plan. The event also offers training for Kent State community health nursing students.

For more information about the exercise, contact Mariah Gibbons at mgibbon2@kent.edu.

The 5XÉçÇø Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed 5XÉçÇø in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Kent State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
