04/26/08 Activation
Thursday, May 08, 2008 - 11:04 AM
04/26/08 activation for district 6 mock drill exercise.

Eoc was staffed at 8:30 am. The exercise was a hazardous material spill that traversed thru the district 6 counties. A hazardous materials spill occured in Grant County. The exercise was mainly a communications drill between all 13 counties in the district.

Blackford County EOC was not officially activated until approximately 11:30 am. This due to our EOC not staffed 24 hours a day. No phone call was made to any EMA staff via personal cell phones until the exercise was well underway. At that time, the Blackford County EOC was activated.

Overall exercise went fairly well. Each county had an evaluator from the state present. Our evaluator was very impressed with our overall inoperability equipment and SOP's. Felt we had one of the better EOC's in the state.

A defriefing was conducted one the exercise had concluded and the EOC was secured at 15:00hrs.
