On Tuesday, November 1, 2016 the Hancock County COAD will be conducting a live exercise. This exercise will be directed by our partners at United Way Central Indiana at Brandywine Community Church. The exercise will begin at 5:00 PM and will provide training and experience in establishing a Volunteer Reception Center to process unaffiliated volunteers in the time of an incident.
Roles will be assigned to each individual as they arrive. Active members will be tasked with managing the Center and all others will be volunteers to be processed. This should be a fn event. Please invite family and friends.
Recently had a 5.7 earthquake in Oklahoma. What impact would that have if Hancock County had been the epicenter? Are you ready? Are WE ready?
