Pickaway County Full-Scale County Emergency Exercise

The Pickaway County Emergency Management Office in conjunction with The State Emergency Management Office conducted a full-scale Pickaway County emergency exercise on Thursday May 11th. The purpose of the exercise was to ensure that an adequate emergency response plan exists at the county level, and to assure that first responders are prepared for anything that may strike the county. This year’s exercise involved a simulated hazardous material release that occurred on the Circleville City Schools property causing a lock down of the High School and the evacuation of the elementary.
