2017 Drill Report
In 2017 we had 89% participation from Lindon City residents on the night of the drill, opened and closed 29 Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) across the city, transmitted 30 made-up "emergency scenarios" to the city by radio, had a new EOC set-up with our new police chief at the new public safety building, and held specialized training for the city council and mayor. THANK YOU ALL for your involvement! Lindon City is unique in all of the U.S. in its preparedness efforts!
We have seen drastic improvements in both the speed and accuracy of your reporting over the last 9 years, as well as a continuing increase in participation. We do this drill in an effort to create a more resilient community in the face of a real emergency. The drill helps us get to know all of our neighbors and their special needs, and it helps us learn how to fill out necessary forms--the same forms we would use in an actual event. Associated with this special day of preparedness, schools and businesses also plan and carry out emergency drills. Additionally, we continue to do specific and important training for our police, mayor, and city council. This emergency management training gets a little more sophisticated and complicated every year, and every year they step up to the challenge!
We encourage you as individuals and families to create and practice your own emergency plan(s) on the day of the drill. No disaster response (or drill!) will ever be perfect, but with your help and participation, this annual event will help make us one of the most prepared cities in the world.
