COUNTY NEWS

The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) hosted an active shooter based full-scale exercise on Saturday, May 18. Los Alamos Police, Fire, Emergency Management and Classic Air Medical all participated in preparing for and responding to an active shooter event.

The exercise provided valuable rescue task force training for those involved and gave each entity several ideas on how to improve their preparation and response.

OEM would like to thank UNM-LA for allowing us to conduct the exercise at their beautiful campus, and Los Alamos National Laboratory for their moulage team and evaluator support of the exercise. We would also like to thank Jenn Bartram and Kateri
Morris for providing photos of the exercise. Most of all we would like to personally thank all of the volunteers from the community who gave up a part of their weekend to assist public safety and emergency responders as volunteer actors:
