Fire Plan

Campfires are permitted on site at YOC only in designated Fire Pits. Once a fire is lit it must be attended at all times until it is completely extinguished. Before starting a fire you must have enough water/sand to put it out completely.

Camp Marshall is subject to burn safety regulations, so fires may not be permitted at all during designated dry months.

If a mod or combat comes by that requires you to step away from the fire; the Guide with the mod will come over, take over responsibility for watching the fire, and you can step away to join in the combat.

In the event of an unattended fire with no water/sand bucket nearby or a fire that a fire extinguisher cannot stop, leave the area and immediately locate any DRMA guide or employee. Do not return to the fire or attempt to rescue any belongings, we value your safety first.


Flood Plan

Immediately go to higher ground, whether it’s up the hill or by the parking lot area near the road. If you are separated in the woods, try to get up to the top of the hill and locate a DRMA Guide or Director. Do not attempt to swim in the waters for risk of injury of debris. Rushing waters can pull cars or debris, and sweep dangerous chemicals and waste and exposure can be very dangerous.

Do not remain in any buildings if there is an environmental emergency, unless instructed to do so.

In any emergency situation, a Guide will call Hold to get the attention of nearby players and instruct them on the direction they need to remove themselves. Do not continue to remain in-game or continue your activities unless the Guide has given instruction to release the hold call. We do this to ensure our players are safe.


Contacting Employees
Onsite

During the event, there may be a necessary situation where a certain employee is needed. There should never be hesitation to contact us, however if the customer service desks (Ops or Post Office) have the capabilities of assisting you, use the resources here to help!

Here at Dystopia Rising Massachusetts, we utilize a walkie talkie system. Ops, Post Office, at least One Employee, and Guides out with mods will always have a walkie on them in case of communication needs.

In the event you need to contact someone, have a guide call on the walkie.



Kitchen Policy

There is limited kitchen access available on site currently.
A valid ServSafe certification must be submitted in advance of the event, to access the kitchen.

There will be refrigerator and freezer access available for everyone to store their personal food.
And there are outlets available inside for appliances— DRMA will be providing a microwave for public use.

Outdoor cooking appliances (grills, etc) are permitted so long as they are only used outside and comply with fire and safety protocols.


Sleeping
Spaces

YOC has plenty of beds available, between individual cabins and sleeping spaces in the main buildings. Please contact a Director if you find that all of our available beds are full!

Beds are first come first serve; but we will do our best to ensure everyone has a bed who needs one.

We will also have a designated Medical Sleep. If you need access to this space, please email dystopiarisingmass@gmail.com. No doctor’s note is required, but please let us know in your email what, if any, specific needs you have so that we can try to accommodate them for you, and everyone in need, as much as possible (including things like # of med sleep beds needed, electrical access for medical equipment, etc).
