On Wednesday, August 17 emergency response personnel will take part in a mock airport disaster drill. The disaster drill will start around 5:00 PM on Wednesday and wrap up around 7:30 PM Wednesday evening.
During this event, citizens may notice increased emergency activity in the area including response personnel and emergency vehicles with warning lights activated. As this is a planned and coordinated training event, the public should not call 9-1-1 to report or ask about an incident at the airport. Additionally, no one should stop on nearby roads as that will impact normal traffic flow as well as impede emergency crews that are in the area for this training.
