Participants work together in teams where they rotate leadership positions and are challenged with mass casualty situations, water rescue operations, secondary triage and treatment, damage assessment and emergency(IC/EOC/Cyber) operations.

New York Hope is Sponsored by the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education, the University of Albany College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cyber Security, Elmira College, and the University of Buffalo.
