Region H conducted an exercise Nov. 15. Individuals took part in exercises in Atchison County and Gentry County.
The drill allowed first responders and emergency personnel to prepare for an actual incident. The scenario involved an incident at Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville, Neb., that would have released radiation into the atmosphere.
Region H practiced setting up an emergency shelter in Albany, Mo. Volunteers from the community played the role of evacuees from the affected area. Equipment was utilized to test for levels of radioactivity.
Most of Region H's 15 counties participated in the exercise, which began with a tabletop exercise on Oct. 26.
