Lisbon Emergency Drill TOMORROW 10/16‏

 Lisbon – On Saturday, October 16, The Lisbon Police, Fire, School and Lisbon Emergency, in conjunction with the Androscoggin County COBRA (Chemical Ordinance Biological Radiological Agents) Team, will conduct an emergency drill starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Lisbon Community School, 33 Mill Street in Lisbon.  The drill will examine how emergency personnel and school officials respond to a school based incident. The event will be evaluated by members of the Lisbon School Safety Committee in conjunction with Fire Chief David LaFountain of the Waterville Fire Department.

The event will place emergency responders and school officials in a simulated emergency that will take place at a school setting. The drill will also examine a number of procedures that have been worked on by the School District Safety Committee in response to an emergency that could happen at a school. The drill will also involve students from Lisbon High School S.A.D.D. Chapter who have agreed to be actors and actresses in this drill.

The drill will conclude with small group discussions based on each agency that participated followed by a large group discussion. A written report by Chief LaFountain will follow for review by Lisbon School Departments’ District Safety Committee. The drill is part of a grant received by the Town of Lisbon from the Maine Emergency Management Agency.  FMI contact Detective Bernie McAllister by calling 353-2500 or email bmcallister@lisbonpd.com
