N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – LaMoure County Courthouse employees and local emergency services will be training for emergency preparedness today.

A simulated incident involving an emergency event at the LaMoure County Courthouse will take place from Noon to 4:30 PM. City and County emergency services along with government officials will be participating and the courthouse will be closed to the public during that time.

LaMoure County Emergency Manager Kimberly Robbins states that these simulated plans will help the emergency preparedness in the community.

“The simulated emergency event will serve to assess the county emergency preparedness plan, which includes Lock-down during the exercise,” Robbins stated. “A second objective includes assessing the response of law enforcement and other emergency services including ambulance and fire response.”

Funding for the simulation is being provided partly by the State Homeland Security Grant Program. This funding allows other scenarios and training to happen in LaMoure, Ransom, Dickey and Sargent County schools in 2014.
