6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 2016 Drill BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY BIG SUCCESS from 1A The full-scale exercise will include actors, an active com- mand center and communica- tion across police, fire and other emergency response radio frequencies. Florence Police Lt. John Pitcher said, “We’re going to test all of our initial response.” This will include eliminat- ing the threat, securing the facility, aiding with care, transporting injured and alert- ing the media. Training will center around Siuslaw Middle School, but will also include the elementary and high schools. Florence Public Works will guide traffic away from the area. “We understand that it’s going to take everyone to be prepared for something like this. It’s key for our public to know that we’re planning. We hope an event like this never happens, but we are preparing anyway,” Messmer said. The exercise is being con- ducted in collaboration with the City of Florence, Florence Police Department, Lane County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians Police Department, Western Lane Ambulance, Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue, Siuslaw and Mapleton school districts, PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center, Life Flight and REACH Air Medical Services. “We work together quite a bit,” Pitcher said. “We back each other up. This is another chance to work together and train.” PHOTOS BY JACK DAVIS WOK UP WINDOWS Siuslaw News Siuslaw Elementary School’s sixth annual Bike to School day on May 27 saw a record 127 kindergarten and elementary school students ride their bicycles to school.
