Emergency response training and exercise facility

Abstract

An emergency response training and exercise facility and complex. The emergency response training and exercise facility includes a site facility and preferably a plurality of modular units to provide one or more simulated disaster environments or scenarios.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is directed to an emergency response training and exercise facility configured to simulate one or more disaster environments or scenarios. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There exists a need for training and exercise facilities and complexes for training and exercising personnel. It is highly desirable that such facilities and complexes can be modified, altered, rearranged, or otherwise changed to simulate different disaster environments or scenarios. [0003] There have been attempts in the past to provide mobile training facilities for training personnel. Typically, these mobile facilities include a single separate trailer, which can be hauled from one location to another location. Further, some of these trailers are provided with facilities to provide fire and smoke within the trailers to simulate a fire. [0004] However, none of these current mobile facilities are significant in size, and are limited in their ability to be reco...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] A second object of the present invention is to provide an improved emergency exercise facility.

[0007] A third object of the present invention is to provide an improved emergency response training and exercise facility.

[0033] In preferred embodiments, the outer walls of the shipping containers are not extended, added to, removed, or otherwise significantly modified so that the cargo shipping container modular unitss can be easily transported in the various manners as described above, and then assembled within the site facility according to the present invention.

[0048] The emergency response training and exercise facility according to the present invention is to provide an inexpensive solution for technical training, specifically technical rescue training, explosive ordinance disposal, chemical disposal, biological disposal, radiological disposal, nuclear disposal, fire training, police training and medical training. The purpose is to provide an intense realistic, scalable, and manageable training facility.

[0049] The emergency response training and exercise facility according to the present invention provides a relatively small footprint making construction inexpensive, designed to be easy to maintain, and fire proof. It is desirable that at least the modular units can be easily transported from a remote location to the particular site, and preferably the site facility itself is also modular and can be constructed at another location, transported, and then assembled or reassembled at the desired site location. It is preferred that state-of-the-art type construction methods, parts, components and materials are used in building the modular units and the site facility of the emergency response training and exercise facility according to the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

However, none of these current mobile facilities are significant in size, and are limited in their ability to be reconfigured or otherwise changed.
