McClain County’s Office of Emergency Management, the City of Purcell and local first responders will be working with the 63rd (OK) Civil Support Team early next month to conduct joint Hazmat and Law Enforcement exercises.
That’s the word from Ron Johnson, McClain County Emergency Manager.
The exercises will be held in and around the Purcell Multi-Purpose Center, Johnson said November 6 and 7.
“The purpose of these exercises is to establish and refine valuable partnerships between local, state and federal agencies in responding to incidents involving hazardous materials that may overwhelm local resources,” Johnson said.
The exercises will be with responders in Purcell at the multi-purpose center and surrounding communities.
The major activities are intentionally planned to be conducted away from heavily populated areas in the interest of safety. However, some aspects may be noticed within the city.
Residents are advised there may be responder vehicle movement and operational response actions that may pose a danger to unsuspecting observers and are therefore asked to refrain from entering areas marked “Exercise” or “Training” in the interest of uninterrupted training activity and their own personal safety, Johnson said.
“Please address any questions regarding exercise activities to Ron Johnson at 405 955-4600 or email ronjohnson@mcclaincountyok.gov.
