Preparedness Tools

Exercise Support

Exercises are a key component of national preparedness — they provide the whole community with the opportunity to shape planning, assess and validate capabilities, and address areas for improvement. The ICDP is pleased to provide Exercise support to ensure you achieve the highest level of realism possible in your exercises. We can provide volunteers to act as patients as well as experienced Medical Moulage artists to create a well-rounded simulated disaster experience. This Mass Casualty Exercise video demonstrates the value the ICDP can add to your exercises. Please complete the Exercise Support form to request help in your area.

Learning and Simulation Space

The ICDP has state-of-the-art classroom and simulation space just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. This space includes nine mock patient rooms, two mock decontamination showers with anteroom, and three classrooms wired for hybrid presentations. The space also features two small conference/debrief rooms and a kitchen. Please complete the ICDP Space Request Form to reserve the space for your exercise or preparedness class.
