Several federal agencies and officials are planning to simulate a full scale natural disaster today at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. The will be testing their mobile command vehicles, mobile morgue, de-con units, mega-shelter operations, and several other things.
Millicent West, Director of D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, says that D.C. still have several things to work on but that it is most important for people to know their own role in the case of an emergency. For that reason, D.C. is working hard to educate the public on what is expected of them in an emergency situation. She states, "We want to make sure that everybody understands that sometimes evacuation is not the first course of action."
