The city needs actors and extras (about 900 and 14,000 respectively). It should be a really cool event, so they say. Efforts are to provide a learning tool to Pittsburgh's emergency medical system.
And who can pass up A FREE CONCERT WITH DONNIE IRIS, JOE GRUSHECKY, AND B.E.
TAYLOR?

A simulated disaster drill at PNC Park is to occur on May 7, 2005. The PNC Park Disaster Drill is a full-scale exercise testing the emergency response capabilities of the City of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Pirates and PNC Park, local area hospitals, and various response agencies from around the region.
The event will take place in real-time over a 6 - 8 hour period. The agencies involved will test many facets of emergency response including the PNC Park evacuation plan, medical injury classification or triage, victim transportation, scene preservation, scene security, decontamination and communications.
The true success of this exercise greatly depends on the participation of individuals such as you. As a participant in this exercise, you will get a first hand look at how our community would respond to a terrorist event.
Entertainment from the "Pittsburgh All-Stars" featuring Donnie Iris, Joe Grushecky & B.E. Taylor will be provided to volunteers that day! In addition, each volunteer/participant will receive incentives for participating in the disaster drill. These incentives include two free tickets to a Pirates game, a Red Cross First Aid Kit and a Replica of PNC Park. Free parking is provided.
