About this Event

One Simulation, Two Roles

It's time for Allen TX CERT's spring simulation to keep our emergency preparedness skills sharp. We are looking for both Volunteer Victim Participants as well as CERT Responders from surrounding communities to join us.

2026 Spring Simulation Exercise - Volunteer Victim Participant

Allen TX CERT needs volunteers to play the roles of survivors in a simulated disaster. This is a fun and interactive community service event for parent teacher organizations, families, scout troops, student organizations, or any group or individuals wanting to help support Allen emergency readiness.

Participants can expect:

Realistic, fake wounds applied
Staged in the field for our CERT Responders to find, extract, and treat
Certified volunteer hours
