LISBON — The Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency gave a grade of B to the first security test at the county courthouse.
The EMA routinely takes part in multistate tests in case of a disaster at the nuclear power plants in Shippingport, Pa.
County Commissioner Jim Hoppel said of the drill, “I thought it went well.” He added, however, there were “a few glitches to be worked out.”
The 30-minute test at 3 p.m. Thursday included the courthouse security personnel, who are armed law enforcement officials, and the county’s tactical response team.
