Full Scale Exercise

Emergency Response Exercise

We are seeking volunteers to serve as role players during a Full-Scale Emergency Response Exercise on Wednesday, August 13.

This exercise will focus on the activation of a Family/College Assistance Center (FAC/CAC) in response to a simulated campus emergency. Role players will help create a realistic environment by portraying students, parents, and concerned loved ones seeking information and support.

Volunteer role players include:
  • Students attempting to reunite with friends/family
  • Parents or guardians arriving on scene
  • Individuals seeking mental health, medical, or logistical support
  • Walk-in inquirers with minimal or no information

This is a great opportunity to experience how universities and emergency services manage large-scale incidents and provide support to affected individuals.

Details:
Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2025
Time: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
 Location: UW-La Crosse
 Who: Volunteers age 18+ (students, faculty/staff, community members)

What to Expect:

  • Brief orientation upon arrival
  • Assigned scripts or scenarios to act out

Please be aware that there may be loud noises and the presence of emergency personnel during the exercise.
