A LEGO BRICKUMENTARY - Tuesday - True Story Tuesdays PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center in Florence, in coordination with local emergency responders, will be conducting a mock mass-casualty drill on Wednesday, Aug. 19. The drill is scheduled to start around 8 a.m. at Siuslaw High School and will continue throughout the Florence City Wide Garage Sale September 11-13, 2015 presented by the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce morning, concluding around 11 a.m. The drill will test the preparedness and response of local agencies should a real disaster occur. The event, staged by PeaceHealth, will focus on response plans for an actu- al disaster that would trigger a sudden influx of patients, media, and concerned community mem- bers in addition to the day to day patient activity at the hos- pital. It will also provide on- scene training for local emer- gency responders. The full scale mass-casual- ty drill is being conducted in collaboration with multiple partner agencies including PeaceHealth, Western Lane Ambulance District, Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue, Florence Police Department, City of Florence, Citizen Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Life Flight, REACH Air Medical Services and Siuslaw School District, through use of the district’s property. The scenario for the prac- tice event is a simulated explosion in the high school shop. Volunteers will be partici- pating in the exercise to play the roles of patients and fami- ly members. In addition to the planned participants, community members are welcome to view the training as it will provide real-life crowd con- trol training for emergency responders. Onlookers are encouraged to watch but are reminded to be respectful to the fact that it is a training to better prepare the hospital and responders. Organizers caution that the event is a significant exercise and the local community can expect to see emergency responders at PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center and Siuslaw High School looking and acting as if it were a true disaster. S IUSLAW N EWS Emergency staff and drill participants with mock injuries may be seen by motorists and pedestrians in the area.
