On Friday, June 17, Cyanco will be conducting an Emergency Preparedness Drill at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds located at 1000 Fairgrounds Road, Winnemucca. This drill will take place from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The event is closed to the public.
Police, Fire, EMT and other public safety personnel will be on scene as part of the training exercise.
This training simulation will present a real-life scenario for the environmental, health and safety professionals who would be tasked with managing a true emergency, should one ever occur.
No chemicals will be used and no vehicular incident and no real emergency will be taking place at this time. As such, no one is in danger, and no emergency response is required. It is just a drill.
The training event is designed to test Cyanco’s emergency plans and the preparedness level of local first responders.
