Local officials review disaster plans
BY JOHN REIMRINGER
Staff Reporter
In an effort to prepare for disasters local officials yesterday discussed how their agencies would keep lines of communication open in an emergency.
City, county and state officials reviewed the Douglas County disaster plan with representatives of local radio stations, the American Red
Cross and the Lawrence Hum Radio Club at a meeting in the commission chambers of the Douglas County Courthouse.
"We don't have that many hands on exercises," he said. "We have more real incidents than we have exercises."
"The exercise was designed for the decision-making people," said Phil Leonard. Douglas County director of emergency preparedness.
and training of disaster relief workers were not discussed.
Most of the agencies train their disaster relief workers separately, Leonard said.
The exercise dealt only with organizational problems that the agencies might face during and after a disaster, he said. Field activities
The session began with a film of an actual disaster, a train derailment and chemical spill in Livingston, La.
The spill forced the evacuation of 3,000 people.
Leonard said the film was a good example because a train had detailed in Lawrence before. He said it was easy to imagine what would have happened had that train been carrying chemicals. Much of downtown would have had to be evacuated, he said.
"We would have been without a hospital, without a city hall," he said.
