Summary - Tues Aug 7th A special "Thank You" to all the surrounding communities for responding to the Disaster Drill. It was a real learning experience for everyone involved. 9 EMS calls came to Com Center from all different areas of Moville within a 7 minute time frame and the initial plan was put into action. We found that it is much easier to talk and write about how to handle such a situation than it is to actually do it. Much went very well, and improvement in some areas is needed. Ambulances, EMS, Fire responded from Lawton, Kingsley, Pierson, Bronson and Anthon responded. Mercy Air Care also flew to the scene. Other agencies involved included Woodbury County Emergency Services and Woodbury County Sheriff Dept. After the drill was completed for the initial response, everyone came together to debrief, review, and evaluate what had taken place. Suggestions were made and changes in the initial response plan will be made accordingly. This drill will be the prelude into another follow up drill at a later date in another community in order to use what was learned in Moville to improved practice. Final newspaper coverage - Aug 16th
