The scenario for Preston Memorial Hospital's second emergency preparedness decontamination drill focused on an unknown powder dispersed at a local school, according to an article on The State Journal website.
"It's important that in an actual disaster a lot of the nurses and doctors are going to be involved in the hospital themselves," Dr. Fred Conley, the director of threat preparedness at Preston Memorial said. "We have folks from the community that can set up that decontamination shelter and actually provide that service for the hospital."
The decontamination team at Preston Memorial cut its set up time in half from the first drill. Team members assembled the tent and were ready to treat patients in 15 minutes.
