ity of <br /> <br />ver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #4.7. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br />Bruce A. West, Fi~ <br />May 18, 1998 <br /> <br />April 22, 1998, Full Scale Exercise <br /> <br />As you are aware, the City of Elk River Emergency Management conducted a <br />full scale exercise on Wednesday, April 22, 1998. There were numerous <br />public safety agencies who participated in the one day full scale exercise. We <br />had approximately 200 people who were involved during the simulated <br />tornado that affected the Sherburne County Fairgrounds. <br /> <br />! will be in attendance at the Monday, May 18, Council meeting to review the <br />events of the full scale exercise and show you a short video in reference to the <br />full scale exercise. During the exercise evaluators were on site at the <br />Sherburne County Fairgrounds and at the Emergency Operations Center at <br />City Hall to critique the response of the various public safety agencies and to <br />critique the Emergency Operations Center. <br /> <br />The full scale exercise was tremendous success and a very good learning <br />experience for all responding personnel. A good working relationship with <br />various public safety response agencies is critical during any natural or man- <br />made disaster. As always, during any full scale exercise, there are areas of <br />improvement for the public safety agencies to work on in the future. I would <br />like to thank the members of the Full Scale Exercise Design Team in giving <br />their time and efforts during the extensive planning and preparation for the <br />April 22, exercise. <br /> <br />If you have any questions prior to the Council meeting on Monday evening, <br />please feel free to call me at 441-4919. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\emeroxor .doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
