This past weekend, each person got placed in a new group to work out the details of an emergency plan of action for a specific group affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Each person had to go through the stages of group forming again. Although this time it seemed more simple since we had all been in the same class for over half a semester now. That allowed everyone to know more about each other than when we first got placed in groups in class. This activity showed how fast you may need to take action and how much help it would be to prepare for these types of things ahead of time in order to reduce the amount of panic.
One example of something other than a natural disaster that requires quick thinking and a planned attack is a SWAT team. I realized this the other day when the floor on my dorm had the chance to go to the Purdue Police Department and talk to one of the guys on the SWAT team. It was a very fun time getting to see all of their equipment and talk a little about their training.
The beginning of this clip shows a little bit of the quick thinking and training that a SWAT team may do. This is from the movie S.W.A.T.
