| RB FULL SCALE DISASTER DRILL NOVEMBER 2003 | ||
Thursday,
November 13, 2003.
The Drill was a simulated explosion with a chemical release located at the AES Plant. The object of the drill was to test First Responders in the Fire and Police Departments on tactics to handle the situation, to test the ability of the Police, Fire, Public Works and Parks and Recreations working together in a unified command structure to mitigate the incident and to have the city department heads open and staff the city EOC. CERT Volunteers
were used to set up and staff a full-scale shelter for the evacuated
residents. The shelter was set up with Parks and Recreation at Knob
Hill Community Center. Fire Engineer Herrera was the drill “monitor”
for the shelter. |

 John York and Heling Craig are setting up the Registration Desk. It is very crucial to keep track of all shelter traffic, including all volunteers. |
