IMREDD students take part in a crisis management exercise with the SDIS
Organised in unprecedented sanitary conditions, the Module IMPACT Bringing together 100 students from 7 different courses, it focused on major risk simulations within the territory. Designed by Lieutenant-Colonel Frédéric Castagnola, Head of the Citizenship functional group at SDIS 06, and run by firefighters, police officers, gendarmerie officers, and research professors, the IMPACT module («Immediate Management Planning Action») is a series of tabletop exercises and multi-risk scenario simulations for all audiences. Lasting 3 hours, the crisis management exercise raises participants' awareness of their territory's risks and quickly engages them in planning to best act in exceptional crisis and emergency situations.
Proposed by IMREDD for the Third year As part of the IMREDD Workshops, the IMPACT Module took place in a hybrid format to allow for social distancing and limit the number of participants per room. Over two mornings, students were divided into groups of 4 to 6 to imagine crisis scenarios and react to situations created by their colleagues. The presentation of the exercise by Lt Col. Castagnola, the exchanges between the groups, and the final debriefing were carried out via videoconference on Zoom.
