YARS hosts mock disaster drill at airbase
VIENNA — In the event of a major disaster, such as a large earthquake or a plane crash, perhaps the most-effective way to handle the aftermath is for responding agencies to practice three “C’s” among one another: communication, cooperation and collaboration.
All three were on display between the 910th Airlift Wing and the Northeast Ohio Region American Red Cross Lake to River chapter as both teamed up to conduct a simulated aircraft crash disaster training session today at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station.
The second annual mock demonstration, “Feel the Heat,” was to demonstrate the reserve station’s first responders’ high level of readiness as well as the daily work of ARC workers and volunteers in helping those who need their services after a disaster, noted Maj.
