OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The community should not be alarmed when they see police activity around an Oconto hospital later this week.
Bellin Health is hosting an active weapon response drill at its Oconto hospital on Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The drill will include:
- An actor playing the role of an assailant
- On-site scenarios carried out in various areas of the hospital
- Whistle blasts to simulate a weapon being fire
“Tabletop drills are helpful, but there is no substitute for a live-action drill of this type in terms of enhancing our emergency preparedness efforts,” said Bellin Health Emergency Management Coordinator Dave Kobielak.
“We thank our teams, patients and the general public for their patience and understanding as we work through these critical drills — exercises that can keep us all safer in the long run”.
The exercise is set to run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
