- In College Station, Texas there is a region that lay completely obliterated
- It is called ‘Disaster City’ and is a training site for hundreds of rescue workers across the state
- Opened in 1997, Disaster City was a response to terrorists attacks that occurred in Oklahoma and New York city in 1993 and 1995
- Since its premiere the number or respondents trained at disaster city has grown incredibly, and they couldn’t be positioned in a better site
- Disaster City’s set is designed by engineers to look like actual calamities that have befallen people
- Volunteers act as victims and makeup artists work to make injuries as real as possible
- The whole scene is like a Hollywood set: only, for the respondents it is very, very real
- But the results of this setting are clear and beneficial
- Respondents to both Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 trained by Disaster City admitted to being well prepared and more capable of performing their duty effectively thanks to their training
- So long as this continues, Disaster City will remain broken down
