Within the framework of the simulation, 一夜之间的恶劣天气系统产生了龙卷风天气，影响了密苏里州西北部的几个城镇. The state emergency management agency confirmed severe damage to homes, blocked roadways and debris, 电力中断，人数不详的人需要医疗救助.

Shaeffer added, “这绝对是来到这里学习新事物的好时机——学习你不太熟悉的东西，了解你作为团队成员的优势和劣势。.”

紧急与灾害管理专业大一新生萨拉·雷(Sarah Wray)是周五下午水上救援小组的一员. Wray, who already works as a firefighter in Hopkins, Missouri, hoped to deepen her knowledge by participating in Missouri Hope.

“If you learn with more hands-on than lecture, this is definitely something I’m grateful Northwest does,” Wray said.
