Drill prepares city for real emergency
By Dave Wakefield Kansan staff writer
At 9:15 yesterday morning, KU police evacuated Daisy Hill as part of a drill organized by the Emergency Preparedness Department of Douglas County.
However, students noticed nothing unusual because the entire drill took place inside the Douglas County Judicial Building.
The county is required by state and federal laws to hold one emergency drill each year to prepare area agencies for an actual emergency, said Dale Creed, county emergency preparedness coordinator. Yesterday's was the first time the simulation of the University was simulated, he said.
in order to simulate the emergency, drill leaders announced events at times when they might have happened. Command center directors learned the results of their decisions from the drill leaders.
The drill began with the 9 a.m. simulated rupture of a tanker-truck carrying anhydrous ammonia.
A toxic cloud began drifting north after the accident site at 191d and
At 9:10, command center directors were told, and Stoffer Place Apartments were evacuated by Lawrence firefighters wearing protective suits and air-breathing equipment. There were already several casualties because the area was enveloped by fumes.
On Daisy Hill, hall residents were told to leave by hall staff members. The drill leaders announced that KU police officers had begun directing students to cross the Irving Road Bridge and walk to the University
By 9:45 a.m. the emergency command center in the basement of the Judicial Building had been staffed and began coordinating the efforts of relief agencies. Field personnel, at a simulated command site on the second radio, communicated with the command center via hand-held radios.
Press, 15th and Creation streets. Buses carried people from there to an evacuation site at West Junior High School, 2700 Harvard Road.
At 10:30 a.m., the wind shifted,
which in a real emergency would
have caused the KU police dispacher
to go off the air until 11 a.m., when
a new command center would be set up.
Due to the shift, evacuates at West Junior High would have been evacuated to Quail Run School, 1130 Inverness Drive.
The exercise ended at 11:05 a.m. At the afternoon evaluation of the drill, Ted McParlane, the county emergency preparedness director, said that the drill was a success and that it would point out improvements that needed to be made in the emergency manual.
"It is my hope that we make some concrete changes as a result of this exercise," he said.
Problems identified in the drill were:
▶ Farmland Industries' officials trained to deal with anhydrous ammonia spills were not called until late in the drill.
Primary evacuation sites should be located out of the path of possible wind-shifts.
Storm sewer maps are needed at the emergency command center to identify which way chemicals might drain.

Senate approves a plan for drug-war financing
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday overwhelmily approved a $9.4 billion compromise plan to pay for the Bush administration's war on drugs and an assortment of anticrime programs.
"This proposal represents the strongest first step we can make to win the war against drugs," said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va.
Lawmakers voted 97-2 to attach the plan to an $11.9 billion bill for money
transportation programs.
"Weak shots across the bow will not cripple the garbage scow of drug violence and drug dependency" *the bullets, urging a strong initial assault.*
Voting against the measure were Republicans Jake Garn of Utah and Steve Symms of Idaho. Sen. Jim Sasser, D-Tenn., did not vote.
The compromise followed a week of negotiations between the White House and Senate Democrats and Republicans.
