The 52-acre training facility, which is a mock community featuring full-scale,
collapsible structures designed to simulate various levels of disaster and wreckage,
and is customizable for the specific training needs of any group. Emergency
responders worldwide visit Disaster City® for unparalleled search and rescue training
at the most comprehensive emergency response training facility available today.
A key ingredient of the training at Disaster City is realism, including the chaos and
disorganization provided by victims. To this end, in 2006 the TEEX Urban Search
and Rescue (US&R) Division began recruiting from the surrounding communities and
found an incredible group of volunteers to assist with US&R training and large-scale
exercises. Disaster City® volunteers help give authenticity to the chaos, making
exercises conducted at Disaster City® some of the most comprehensive and true-to-
life in the world. Without the volunteer program, TX-TF1 and students training in
Disaster City® wouldn’t be able to experience dealing with live victims that have
realistic injuries and the emotions that accompany them.
To ensure the closest to real-world training, the division seeks volunteers from all
walks of life, age groups and occupations. On a typical exercise you’ll find students
from University and Blinn College, community groups such as the Boy Scouts and
church groups, homemakers, retirees, spouses and emergency response students.
Disasters aren’t choosy, and all volunteers are welcome.
