BEDFORD—Emergency Management Director Valerie Luchauer told the Commissioners Tuesday morning that a mock hazardous material exercise will be held on Saturday, September 14, in Oolitic.
Luchauer is now working with area first responders and emergency services to organize the exercise. More information will be provided closer to the date.
Luchauer also shared she participated in a Flood Plain Management course in Danville.
“Our ordinance is now up to date,” said Luchauer. “For citizens to be eligible for the national flood insurance rates or for communities to receive federal funds, the community must agree to meet minimum floodplain standards. These permits ensure we are meeting the minimum standards. We will be kicked out of the program if we violate the requirements.”
Luchauer reported no injuries at the 2nd annual XC Amateur National Championship presented by the National Racing Association at the Lawrence County Recreational Park in Springville on August 10th-11th.
