Early morning drill to test abilities

September 18, 2017

Boundary County will activate its Emergency Operations Center at 4:30 a.m. tomorrow in a training exercise with several other agencies. Residents with police scanners will hear radio traffic involving emergency services throughout the county, along with some military operations. The drill/exercise is to test their abilities in responding to a simulated hazardous materials crossing into the county under suspicious conditions. "Do not be alarmed as all this early morning activity is only a drill, a chance for us to get better at what we do," said Michael Meier, Boundary County Director of Emergency Management. The entire drill should be done at around noon tomorrow.
