Thus far, <br />approximately 200 citizens have graduated. <br />The events of this coming Saturday will begin at 9 a.m., when the class will gather on the drill field of the <br />Emergency Services Center (2nd and Chambers) and proceed through a series of final practical <br />exercises in a disaster scenario that will include most of the skills covered in the training. The practical <br />exercises will conclude at 11:30 a.m., and class members will then assemble in Classroom 4 of the main <br />ESC building for the graduation ceremony. Elected officials are welcome to attend and observe all or any <br />part of the exercises and graduation.
