Boy Scout Merit Badge Question: Emergency Preparedness?

Does anyone know of a specific example of an emergency service project that would meet the following requirement??

7. Take part in an emergency service project, either a real one or a practice drill, with a Scouting unit or a community agency.


Thank You

1. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE YOU CAN GO TO RED CROSS AND DO SOME OF THERE TRAINNING OVER THERE
ALSO THE CITY HAS STUFF LIKE THAT

EAGLE SCOUT TROOP 48

2. Your fire department / police department etc may have periodic rescue drills (such as a plane crash, multiple car crash).

Contact them to see if they allow participation in these drills by civilians.

3. Most communities run disaster drills. Often, there is one big drill between many agencies, and several smaller drills.

Your local American Red Cross or HAM radio club (maybe fire department) can probably help you find out about various drills.

Most Scouts go the 'with your Scouting unit' direction- the troop sets up a scenario and the Scouts play it out. When we did it, we used our sister Cub packs for 'victims'.

4. BSA baby! (im a spl) , you could maybe help do a demonstration for littler kids about what to do in a scenario that might have to do with emergency preparedness
