About the Medics & Radios Basic Course
Medics & Radios Basic Concept
Medics & Radios is a Post Apocalyptic Live Action Role Play game (LARP) that teaches real world outdoor skills using scenario training.
The Basic Scenario
For whatever reasons fit your personal story line, you have volunteered to serve on a medical team that extracts injured people from dangerous situations in a post-apocalyptic world based (very loosely) on the Fallout 4 video game.
The Medics & Radios Basic Course trains you to shoot, move and communicate using Scouting merit badge standards for First Aid, Radio and Rifle Shooting with additional material from the Emergency Preparedness, Hiking, Orienteering, Geocaching, Backpacking, Camping, Outdoor Survival and Search & Rescue merit badges.
Medics & Radios is not involved with Scouting and all our courses and events are for adults only (18+), but the courses are developed to merit badge standards in order to provide a consistent goal that any adult should be able to reach.
The first aid techniques in the First Aid merit badge are all the first aid there is, for instance. Anything more complex than Boy Scout first aid is officially called pre-hospital emergency care.
Using merit badge standards gives everyone involved a consistent goal.
Medics & Radios Organization
Medics & Radios is built directly on FEMA’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, as a LARP. FEMA’s IS 100, 200, 700 and 800 courses are free online and are required by every emergency services and law enforcement agency in the US. These courses explain the Incident Command System (how things get done) and the National Incident Management System (where stuff comes from).
Medics & Radios corporate structure directly mirrors the FEMA Incident Command System. Medics & Radios Responders start as a Single Resource and then learn to work as a team to evolve up through the ICS hierarchy.
