Adams County emergency management schedules Feb. 5 tabletop exercise at off-site facility; grant closeouts in progress
Summary
Emergency management announced a tabletop exercise on Feb. 5 at an off-site facility that stores hazardous chemicals (referred to in the record as Grande cheese), invited first responders, and said staff are working to close out EPRA/EMPG grant matters.
The Adams County emergency management representative told the Public Safety Judicial Committee that staff have scheduled a tabletop exercise with an off-site facility that stores hazardous chemicals for Feb. 5 and invited all first responders to participate.
On the record, the facility was referred to as "Grande cheese." The department said invites have been sent and expressed hope for broad participation from local fire and emergency agencies.
Emergency management also updated the committee on administrative grant items. The representative said the office was closing out "EPRA emergency planning community right to know act grama" items for the previous year and working through legal steps so the county can complete closeout of the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG).
No formal committee action was requested; emergency management indicated it will continue coordinating with partner agencies and bring logistical updates as the exercise approaches.
