Preparing for Disaster

The Alabama Fire College in Tuscaloosa hosted a training for first responder units from across the state from October 12th-13th. 

Multimedia students at The University of Alabama were invited to film the training and help first responders interact with the media. The Fire College conducted a mock press conference to inform the student media with details of a natural disaster simulation that took place.
