Emergency Exercise Carroll County MD Tornado

To help test our local emergency response services, I was a volunteer victim in a County-wide (Carroll County, MD) disaster exercise on August 2, 2008. The scenario tested was a tornado touching down on a family picnic at the Farm Museum of Carrol County grounds. The Carroll County Office of Public Safety ran the exercise.
