On Thursday, June 6, 2019 many Adair County Emergency Service Agencies played roles in a staged exercise at the Adair County High School. This exercise was developed to simulate a true emergency with a realistic response by first responders. The exercise planning team, consisting of multiple local and state agencies, has been coordinating the execution of this exercise since November of 2018. Using Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program principals the exercise process provided stakeholders with an opportunity to shape planning, assess and validate capabilities, and address areas for improvement.
I would like to personally thank the agencies and stake holders participating in the exercise and planning group; Adair County School System, Lindsey Wilson College, Adair County Judge Executive, Kentucky State Police, Columbia Police, Adair Sheriff, Adair County E911, Adair EMS, Columbia - Adair County Fire Dept., Breeding Fire Dept., TJ Regional Health, Air Evac Lifeteam, Air Methods, PHI Air Medical, Adair County Constable District 6, American Red Cross and Adair County Emergency Management Staff.
