The Dona Ana County/City of Las Cruces Office of Emergency Management will conduct an exercise from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, June 29 at the Dona Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd. The exercise will involve various agencies from the community including first responders and health officials. The exercise will address the possible impact on resources in the area should we experience an outbreak/pandemic this fall of the H1N1 Flu virus.
NOTE: This is by invitation only. Prior permission is needed to attend the exercise.
We hope that this will help us identify our strengths and weakness in our All Hazards Emergency Operations Plan regarding emergency medical surge capability and enhance community and hospital preparedness for public health emergencies. This helps to establish the appropriate training, preparing and mitigation of our systems.
I will be attending the exercise as I am the Secretary of the City of Las Cruces/Dona Ana County LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE. I will report back to my readers on the exercise.
