Carson City health officials to test mobile medical disaster facility
As a followup to a June mass fatality exercise, the Carson City Health and Human Services Office will conduct a test on Tuesday of its inflatable temporary holding facility that may be deployed in the event of a health emergency or disaster.
The Carson City Mobile Medical Facility is a large inflatable structure used as a clinic or hospital in times of emergency. The test will involve the activation of an HVAC system designed to control temperature settings in the structure, said Pam Graber, public information officer for the Carson City Health Department.
"We will be looking at things such as cooling capacity and temperature limitations. It will be a good test to assess the facility for space and versatility, capabilities and limitations," she said.
The Carson City Mass Fatality Plan establishes overall roles and responsibilities of the coroner’s office and describes the necessary collaboration with other response agencies and organizations involved in a mass fatality response. The plan is meant to be used in conjunction with established standard operating procedures and protocols.
Check back here on Tuesday afternoon to learn the results of the test.
"Preparedness is a public health issue and it is good for the public to know that their local health department has their best interest at heart," she said.
