County Disaster Drill: Edward Smilie

Farmington Emergency Management Director Edward Smilie discusses this year's drill.  Every year in September, San Juan County Office of Emergency Management in partnership with local law enforcement, emergency services, and industry, work together to create a simulated real world disaster training. Participating agencies and businesses spent most of the year planning the one-day simulation, beginning with a Homeland Security Orientation Seminar, held in January and culminating in a Full Scale Disaster Simulation on September 13, 2017 from 8am to Noon.

This year Enterprise Products stepped up to sponsor the event. Municipal Dr. in Farmington will have restricted access with areas around Farmington City Hall and Reilly Ave. being closed during set up of the simulation, thru the day as the simulation progresses, until the area has been released after Noon.
