About the Mass Casualty
Incident Exercise
The City of Dallas’ Office of Emergency Management is planning the next
Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Exercise. The exercise is scheduled for March
2018. Media is invited to a planning
meeting, and are asked to help communicate to the public that this exercise
poses no danger.
The MCI exercise will simulate a building collapse, and utilize nearly
300 people. Dallas Fire-Rescue and neighboring fire departments will
participate in patient extrication, triage and transport. Over 100 volunteer
actors will play victims, complete with simulated injuries and moulage makeup.
