KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Kewaunee County Emergency Management will be simulating an industrial type incident during an exercise on Saturday.
The simulation will take place in the Village of Luxemburg around the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds.
It’s been twenty years since an exercise has taken place in that area, and Kewaunee County Emergency Management Director Tracy Nollenberg says the area has changed in that time, so it is time to practice.
“To make sure that they have their procedures in place and a plan in place for what they are going to do if an emergency does happen in that area.”
During that time the area will look like an actual emergency and some roads will have partial closures for much of the day.
“Hearing sirens and seeing emergency response vehicles going through so that they are not alarmed when they see that going on.”
A partial road closure of 4th Street will be in effect from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Emergency Management will follow the exercise by hosting a social media training on Monday.
“We are doing a social media functional exercise just to help promote emergency response participation from the Saturday exercise.
The public should expect an increase in the counties social media activity that day.
