Volunteers wearing moulage are appropriately called Survivors, Survivor Actors, or Patients (PBEM described them as "Victim Volunteers" or "VVs" at one time, but that is an outdated term).

If you are volunteering as a Survivor, thank you! '''Your presence at the training exercise will help save lives by increasing the level of realism for emergency responders.''' Exercises that offer the same stressors and lifelike elements are valuable in assisting responders when called upon in real emergencies. | If you are volunteering as a Survivor, thank you!

* Please follow the specific directions given for your injury/scenario. Do not ‘ad lib’. Injuries are designed to give responders specific clues, and any changing of those clues could put you in a different category, making it difficult to assess responder performance and skill. It is extremely important that you maintain your assigned vitals, chief complaints and any additional directions you’ve been given. | * Please follow the specific directions given for your injury/scenario.

== Survivor Actor Preparations: Scenario Village == | |||
In addition to the general preparations described above, here are a few more details for Survivors volunteering at Scenario Village, '''located at [https://goo.gl/maps/VMdK4abtXtFcwXSy9 14912 NE Airport Way]. The most important thing to know is this: there is nothing taking place at Scenario Village more important than your safety. If you feel unsafe at any time, or feel that something unsafe is about to happen, yell "REAL WORLD!" and that will pause all activity during the exercise.''' Never feel shy about speaking up if you feel unsafe. | |||
==== General Tips ==== | |||
* '''Please read the Scenario Village Overview''' section of the wiki here (the rest of the page is optional): https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/Scenario_Village#Scenario_Village_Exercise_Overview | |||
* '''Optimal arrival time''' for Survivors is between 0815 and 0830 for the AM shift, and between 1245 and 1300 for the PM shift. | |||
* When you arrive, you will enter into the lobby. The moulage room is most often the classroom immediately to your left as you walk into the lobby. | |||
* You can expect coffee in the AM shift and some breakfast-y snacks. | |||
* You will have restroom access both in the moulage room and in the Village. | |||
* Players (rescuers) begin to arrive around 0830 (AM shift) or 1300 (PM shift) and will be staged in the lobby. If at all possible, please do not let them see you. If they do, they'll see the injuries they may need to treat ahead of time and that's a little like getting exam answers surreptitiously. | |||
==== The Village and the Exercise ==== | |||
* At some point after you are moulaged, an exercise Proctor will guide you to the Village and place you in the area where the Proctors want Players to find you. | |||
* Lighting is ''very'' poor in some areas of the Village. If you plan to bring an analog book to read during downtime, plan to bring a book light as well. | |||
* It's not uncommon for rescuers using flashlights to not be aware they're shining them right in your face as they check you for "injuries". If this happens and it's annoying you, say "REAL WORLD" and ask them to be aware of that. | |||
* If your "injuries" include you being non-ambulatory, Players might transport you out by carrying you using a MegaMover or by some other technique. Again, stop the exercise by saying "REAL WORLD" if you feel unsafe. Proctors will also be watching and will stop the exercise if they feel concerned about the techniques used by the Players. | |||
* Also, Players should ''never'' transport Survivors up or down stairs. If you are being carried, the Players should place you down, walk you down the stairs, and then resume the carry. | |||
==== When the Exercise ends ==== | |||
* You are welcome to join the hotwash discussion, and make observations of the response effort by Players. | |||
* Please be sure to turn in your lanyard and injury card to PBEM or back to the moulage technicians. | |||
