Decontamination showers will be used as part of Oct. 28 training exercise

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Department of Emergency Preparedness will be conducting a Decontamination Training Exercise from 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, which will require deployment of the decontamination showers in the circle drive of The Vanderbilt Clinic.

The purpose of the exercise is to provide decontamination training to the Adult and Pediatric Emergency Departments, so the Medical Center can be prepared to respond to an emergency incident which requires decontamination of patients.

This is a full-scale outdoor event, said David Meyer, senior program manager of Emergency Preparedness and Response.
