The specialized training and exercise, developed in cooperation with the Center for <br />National Response, will target response and mitigation of hazardous chemical spills. <br /> <br />The training will allow Eugene-Springfield Metro Fire personnel, <br />Region 1, 2 and 5 Hazmat Emergency Response Teams, <br />Oregon National Guard Civil Support Team (CST), first <br />responder agencies, and Extremely Hazardous Substance <br />(EHS) facilities, to train and drill together to ensure a <br />comprehensive response in the event of a hazardous chemical <br />release. <br /> <br />The exercise will help evaluate the ability of the City of Eugene <br />and partners to work collaboratively to ensure the hazardous <br />materials release is rapidly identified, victims exposed to the <br />hazard are rescued, decontaminated, and treated, the impact of <br />the release is limited, and responders and at-risk populations <br />are effectively protected. <br /> <br />For additional information, please contact Stacy Burr, City of Eugene Emergency Management, at <br />stacy.m.burr@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-5860. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />October 20, 2011 <br />
