2027 DSM Airport Triennial Exercise- Volunteers Needed!

Calendar Happens On Apr 14, 2027
Time 7am - 4 pm

Description

Get an exclusive, behind‑the‑scenes look at emergency operations at the Des Moines Airport by joining our Triennial Full‑Scale Exercise in April 2027.

Scenario: A Delta A320 makes an emergency landing with a landing‑gear collapse, triggering a fuel fire and a mass‑casualty incident (MCI). Volunteers will take on victim roles and be transported to area hospitals to help test triage procedures and surge capacity.

The exercise will take place rain or shine. Sign up now—additional details will be shared as the event approaches. Specific volunteer assignments will be provided on the day of the exercise.

All volunteers will receive a complimentary lunch.
