The Office of Emergency Management will be holding a Point-of-Dispensing (POD) Functional Exercise. In the event of a public health emergency such as an infectious disease, we would be required to provide mass prophylaxis (vaccine or antibiotics) to the affected Temple population within a very short time frame. This exercise is to test and evaluate our emergency operations plan as well as our capabilities of activating and operating a POD.
We're also asking members of the Temple community to walk through the POD as participants. The walk-through takes less than 10 minutes, and participants are automatically entered to win a raffle prize of 200 Diamond Dollars. Participants will also have the chance to collect other giveaways as well.
Participants can walk through the POD any time between 10:00am-11:30am on Wednesday, April 11th, 2018. For further questions, feel free to contact sjpowell@temple.edu.
