Taking Charge
Hurricane Jaime is headed straight for Miami-Dade County and 50 middle school students are tasked with running the Emergency Operations Center. No, it's not a Disney Channel original, it's an educational simulation coordinated by StormZone, a Miami-based non-profit organization that teaches emergency management. The Miami-Dade Department of Emergency Management & Homeland Security hosted this event. The result? Well, you'll just have to watch to find out.
