Load Out from EOC

• Lanyards
• Plastic sleeves for ID cards
• One blue box of charged GMRS radios for proctor communication. Set all to channel 16, and low power to conserve battery.

Morning of the FFE

By 0700, update the timestamp on the BNT Status Page, in case any volunteers check it.

Morning Site Setup

Consider picking up a pint of half & half for coffee. There is a 7/11 on northbound 122nd on the way from I-84.

Arrive 0730-0745. Patient Actors and Moulage Artists arrive at 0800.

Unlock Blue Shed. The code is in LastPass.

Open conex, retrieve needed supplies

• Helmets (12/box)
• Chin straps
• Vests (50/box)
• Backpack covers (50/box)
• FOGs
• Scholarship kits (usually 6/box; check for notes from Prepare Smart about any missing parts)
• Scholarship radios (each box of Motorola GXT1000s contains a pair, with a single charging station)

Each Station

• 1 GMRS radio (Channel 16 is recommended on low TX power. Channels 14 and 15 get traffic from warehouses.)
• Water for instructor, and students if possible
• If cold, hand warmers
• If hot or raining, consider pop-up canopies for cribbing and SAR. Fire Extinguishers & Utility Shutoff can usually use the first floor of the SAR Tower for the intro part.

Main Classroom

• Take photos of the classroom to document setup, and condition. Refer to these during cleanup, and save in case there are questions later.
• Make coffee for class and patient actors (Blue Shed)
• Load out tables and chairs for moulage (Blue Shed); deliver with the sign-in sheet and coffee

By 0830, put out for student arrival:

• Lanyards + sleeves
• Chinstraps
• Helmets
• Vests
• Backpack covers
• Put welcome message and schedule on screen

Before End of the Final Rotation

• Put a FOG at each seat where a student sat. This is easier than distributing later, and provides something for early finishers to look at.
• Prepare for ceremony: Certificates, ID cards, NET stickers
• Put a congrats message on the screen

Rotation Schedule

• 0830 Unlock front doors
• 0845-ish Show the first few trainees who arrive how to assemble their helmet and chin strap, and ask them to propagate the knowledge as people show up. Works like a charm, but do still quickly run through the process at the beginning of the safety briefing just to be sure.
• 0900 Safety briefing

1. You cannot fail. This is an exercise, not a test. The goal is to try what we have learned, make mistakes safely, and learn from them.
2. ‘REAL WORLD.’ We are all Safety Officers.
3. If a station seems physically or mentally daunting, just watch to understand how others do it.
4. In case of site evac, assemble in the front parking lot to check out before leaving, for PAR.
5. Exit and enter this building only using the rear door for the rest of the day. Do not cross in front of Station 02 bays. Front door will be locked anyway.
6. It's OK to leave personal items in the room; the Main Classroom building must remain locked.
7. Have people count off into four groups (or three if <28 people).
8. Quick restroom break. Lock the front door before going out into the field; this is required by PF&R. The rear door must remain locked too.

• 0930 Use radio to notify Instructors that trainees are coming. Lead the four groups out to the field, dropping at Fire, Cribbing, Triage, SAR. Start the first countdown when you drop the last groups at the SAR house & triage, to wit:
• 0935 First station gets underway
• 1015 10-minute warning
• 1025 Rotate clockwise to second station/restroom break
• 1035 Second station should be underway
• 1115 10-minute warning
• 1125 Rotate clockwise to third station/restroom break
• 1135 Third station should be underway
• 1215 10-minute warning
• 1225 Rotate clockwise to fourth station/restroom break
• 1235 Fourth station should be underway
• 1315 10-minute warning
• 1325 Call the end, all students return to the Main Classroom through the rear door.
• 1335 Call an end on the radio
• 1345 Quick hotwash for each station. Remind about Advanced Training, and contacting their TL if they haven't already. End with certificate ceremony.
• 1415 All students should be released by this point

Cleanup

• Leave no trace. Seriously, refer to the photos you took when you opened.
• Rinse all coffee pots.
• Empty all trash bins and replace liners.
• Empty paper recycling. But put redeemable cans in a blue bin by the door. The money goes toward coffee.)
• Turn off projector and TVs.
• Ensure all doors are locked, side emergency exits and the back door to the field.
• Log off desktop computer if you used it.
• Shut off lights.
• Set alarm when you leave and ensure front door is locked.
