The drill is on in Managua. A mock emergency event prompts 130 youth and community leaders from across Nicaragua to practice emergency response and learn life-saving tactics during a January workshop, sponsored by World Vision and local and international agencies. Participants get to put skills — medical and spiritual care, GPS navigation, and security detail — to the test.<\/p>\n
