We are going to tweak and extend the recent exercise done by the EMA and Hancock County Health Dept.
Hancock County COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster) will be conducting an exercise on Wednesday March 30 starting at 4:30 PM.
Location: EOC on South Franklin, Greenfield
Scenario: Indiana resident returning from Guinea by way of New York becomes symptomatic of Ebola while the plane is in the air from New York. Plane is diverted to Indianapolis Regional on Mt. Comfort Road. EMA has alerted the COAD of the need for food, hydration and possibly shelter for the passengers on the plane.
Participants: Open to public, with special emphasis on potential resource providers
This will be a great opportunity for anyone to learn more about the COAD and its function during time of any incident in Hancock County. Please pass teh word to anyone who might be interested.
