Mock Disaster Planned A bomb will rip through the Russell House at noon on Thursday' leaving more than 300 students seriously injured. This mock disaster, planned by the Richland County-City of Columbia Civil Defense Office will be executed to test the mass emergency capabilities of the area's eight hospitals. In addition, another 100 students, considered friends and family of the disaster victims, will be treated for trauma and hysteria by emergency teams from the Columbia Mental Health Center. Coordinated through Student Government Association, the disaster will require 305 students who will be tagged to indicate each's injury -- ranging from fractures to burns and coronaries. Emergency medical treatment facilities housed in a trailer will be dispatched to the Russell House area with doctors and nurses from the city expected to arrive on the scene to administer first aid. Also involved are the members of the National Guard, Campus Police, City Police and City Fire Depart ments. The injured students will be transported in automobiles to the emergency rooms of Richland Memorial, Lexington County, Baptist, Moncreif Army, Veterans Administration, S.C. State, and Providence Hospitals and to Craft Farrow. Because the Student Health Center should be damaged in the explosion, its facilities are not planned for utilization. The Russell House is the first on location disaster site since Exercise Carolina was initiated four years ago to help hospitals maintain accreditation. Students will not be barred from the Russell House during the exercise and the normal traffic flow on Green Street will not be disrupted. Emergency vehicles will observe all speed limits in taking students to the hospital emergency rooms.
