!Settings

|-

|Proctors can set up a sound system in the Village with white noise, or play stressful noises such as loud traffic, explosions, chainsaws, people screaming in distress, and more. Background noise will also cloud up use of tactical radios.

|-

|Proctors may set up downed wires that present a hazard and must be worked around.

|-

|Fallen debris in the form of wood blocks might cover a survivor.

|-

|A gas meter attached to a building may be leaking (sound simulated by a SCBA tank).

|-

|Participants might see an NFPA 704 diamond sign warning of hazardous materials in a building.

|-

|Proctors can use the artificial light and the large access doors in the Village to control visibility and simulate time of day, up to and including pitch dark. Individual buildings also have their own exterior and interior lighting.

|-

|To simulate high dust (NOT smoke from a fire), proctors may set up a smoke machine to reduce visibility for participants.

|-

|Sometimes a strobe light will be installed in an area to increase the stress and confusion level.

|-

|Possibly the most important element is the number and condition of injured survivors (played by volunteer actors).

|-

|Uninjured survivors (played by volunteer actors) may be helpful SUVs, unhelpful SUVs, someone providing information, someone trapped, or someone causing trouble.
