Columbia & Dodge County Full Scale Emergency Exercise

The Columbia and Dodge County Emergency Management Departments coordinated a full scale emergency exercise with the City of Columbus, Columbus Chemical Industries and the Columbus Hospital and other members of the first response community on Saturday, July 26, 2014. The exercise tested our ability to work together to manage the aftermath of a tornado striking a chemical manufacturing facility. This exercise was the final activity in a year-long series of steps preparing for this event.
