Opportunity Details

Actors Needed to Make Video

In celebration of National Preparedness Month, OEM, the Fire Dept’, CERT and Volunteer Alexandria are coming together to provide tips, training, etc. for Alexandria residents. As part of this month long campaign, we are promoting the Until Help Arrives classes through videos filmed by the City.  We are offering free Until Help Arrives training that teach individuals how to deal with life-threatening injuries – called the killers. The killers are massive bleeding, airway obstruction, chest wounds, and hypothermia and shock. The Until Help Arrives class also teaches people how to move survivors and to understand their physical and emotional reactions to danger and stress.
Actors fluent in Spanish or Amharic are needed for taping a video to promote emergency preparedness. These volunteers will be paired with an English speaking person for one episode. Volunteers will be provided the script prior to taping.
One translator needed each day. August 18, 19, 20th 9:00 - 11:00 AM. The taping should only take about a half hour during this time frame.
Before you volunteer, please ensure:
- That you have NOT been at any places and therefore exposed where people have tested positive for COVID-19? If so, do not volunteer.
- That you DO NOT exhibit any symptoms of a respiratory illness including fever, runny nose, sore throat, coughing or difficulty breathing now or in the past 14 days? If so, do NOT volunteer.
- That you or someone you live with is NOT at high risk (this includes persons who are age greater than 65; have underlying heart disease or lung disease, diabetes, liver disease; are immunocompromised, on dialysis, or have severe obesity with BMI greater than 40). If so, do NOT volunteer.
