Intros

Students and trainers

go-round, each sharing name, preferred pronoun, and a skill or experience you bring to this training -- anything from being calm in the face of chaos, to being kick-ass at organizing people to do things, to having training in massage, to being an EMT, to having a lot of demo experience. This is not an opportunity to tell your life story; focus on hearing your skill as part of the tapestry of skills in the room.

All trainers

raise hands or something to ID selves to students.

Introduction to triage and initial assessment

This morning we complicate the situation.

1. What if there are more people in need of care than there are medic buddy pairs?

2. What if a person's life is in danger?
