Opportunity Details

Help MassDOT/MBTA Prepare: Commuter Rail Emergency Drill

On Sunday, October 15, 2017 the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Town of Ayer will be conducting an emergency response drill.  For added realism, we are looking for volunteers to act in the role of passengers during a simulated incident. Some volunteers will be playing the roles of injured passengers, and all volunteers will experience a first-hand incident response as coordinated by first responders. Refreshments will be served and all volunteers will receive a participation certificate. EMT CEU hours will be awarded to those eligible.


REQUIREMENTS:

  • Due of the nature of this drill and the activities involved, participants must be 12 years or older and accompanied by a parent or guardian if under 18.
  • You must be available from approximately 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM on Sunday, October 15, 2017.
  • You must arrange your own transportation to the drill location in Ayer, MA.
  • You will be required to sign a participation waiver of liability form.
  • You will be expected to closely and completely follow all instructions and direction you receive from exercise staff and participating officials (no improvising).

Recording photos or video will be prohibited during the exercise.
