Thank you for your interest in participating in the Prince William
Health District Point of Dispensing (POD) Exercise. This exercise is
part of the National Capital Region's "Capital Fortitude" full-scale
exercise. During this drill, trained Prince William Health District
staff and volunteers will assist volunteers from the public (that's
you!) through a simulated medication dispensing site at Metz Middle
School. This exercise is intended to evaluate Prince William Health
District's ability to provide critical services during a disaster,
specifically dispensing life-saving medication quickly to residents.
How to participate: Complete the eventbrite registration. More
information about where to report will be provided only to those who
register through this eventbrite. POD doors will open and the exercise
will start at 1:00 PM. Once you process through the POD, we invite you
to come through again! Our exercise will run for 1,5 hours. Please
note: Please note – this is only an exercise; there will be no
actual disease-causing agents utilized during any phase of this
exercise. No medications or invasive treatments will be administered
at the POD. Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an
*****. This exercise will take place rain or shine.
