August 15, 1998 Moulage Realism Concepts Course

In preparation for the August 22, 1998 Major Accident Response Exercise the Sarpy County Emergency Management Agency sponsored a moulage training course for ten military and civilian personnel at the Papillion Fire Hall. Moulage includes a variety of procedures for making up participants of exercises so that they look like they have real injuries. Realistic injuries increase the effectiveness of community disaster drills and exercises.
Nebraska Emergency Management Agency instructors demonstrated techniques for creating the realistic-looking wounds and led hands-on exercises. The course ended with written and performance-based exams.
All injuries depicted on this page are made up to look real. No one was hurt in the creation of these photos. If photos of stage blood or staged burns, bruises or impaled objects are unacceptable to you, please use the back arrow on your browser now!
