EMT was one of the major behind the scenes players for Trillium Response, an exercise lead by Emergency Management Ontario and the Department of National Defence. It involved dozens of municipal, provincial and federal agencies, NGOs and otehr organizations.
EMT coordinated the EMAT (Emergency Medical Assistance Team) portion of the exercise working with numerous agencies to coordinate the deployment, recruiting 16 physicians to works as Patient Information Providers and more than 200 volunteers to play the role of patients over the 2 day exercise. EMT created the scenarios to challenge the EMAT team leaders and the patient scenarios.
Dr. Martin Cann attended on behalf of EMT to photograph Trillium Response. We have had numerous requests to post photos so the next few posts will be a small sampling of the hundreds of photos taken during the exercise.
