PLEASE POST AND DISTRIBUTE

The Westchester County Department of Emergency Services, in conjunction with the Westchester County Airport, will be hosting an exciting moulage training program. Moulage is used during simulated training scenarios to provide first responders with a realistic look at the physical effects of injury and illness.

The moulage training program will be given by Image Perspectives from Carson City, Nevada. The program is designed to educate participants in the latest moulage techniques, and how to utilize inexpensive products to simulate injury and illness.

The training program is being offered free of charge. Each participant must be available to assist in a moulage exercise on May 3rd, 2008 at the Westchester County Airport MCI Drill. Participating first responders must attend all training classes which will be held from April 14th through April 18th, 8am to 4pm, at the DES Training Center, 4 Dana Road, Valhalla. All visitors must use the parking located adjacent to the new DES support facility on Walker Road.

If you or someone from your agency would like to sign up, or have any questions regarding the class, please contact Ms. Nyle Salley at (914) 231-1495, or email her at nas5@westchestergov.com .

Would love to take the course, unfortunately for me, and I would guess for many others, the 8-4 classes are not feasible.
