EMC Emergency Response Drill

EMC  Emergency Response Drill

Volunteers & "Evacuees" Needed!
Monday, Mar. 18

In support of the SC Emergency Preparedness Plan, the Emergency Management Committee (EMC) conducts an annual Emergency Evacuation Drill. The exercise is designed to help test the community response to a hypothetical situation, such as a natural or man-made disaster, and evaluate our volunteers’ readiness to respond.

Evacuees are Needed: 9 - 10:30 a.m.
To make this drill as realistic as possible, residents are needed between 9 -10:30 a.m. on the day of the drill to act as evacuees seeking shelter, injured victims needing first aid and evacuees with pets seeking shelter. Just go to one of the Evacuation Centers found at the Social Center Ballroom and Cowan Creek Amenity Center or bring your pet and go to the Activity Center or Cowan Creek Pavilion.

Volunteers Needed
Consider volunteering to be on an evacuation center call list. Volunteers are needed to help register evacuees, provide first aid, help residents with pets, and help with the physical setup of centers. Volunteer training sessions are scheduled several times a year. Please contact Barbara Akers at [email protected].
