EMC Emergency Response Drill

EMC  Emergency Response Drill

Thursday, March 9 • 8 a.m. - Noon

The Sun City Texas Emergency Management Committee (EMC) conducts a community evacuation exercise each year. The purpose of the exercise is to determine how effective our
trained volunteers can staff, set up and execute a resident evacuation resulting from a multitude of crises that may occur.

To make the exercise as realistic as possible, resident evacuee volunteers are used to play the role of evacuees requiring medical treatment for injuries, evacuees with pets in need of shelter and residents who simply need shelter for a limited period of time. It should be understood that in a genuine crisis situation, all facilities are available for a limited period of time. None of the facilities are set

The exercise this year will be conducted on Thursday, March 9 from 8 a.m. to noon. Volunteers working at the Social Center Ballroom, Cowan Creek Amenity Center and the Activities Center will be readily identifiable wearing emergency vests of various colors. We ask residents utilizing these facilities be considerate of the volunteers and defer to them as appropriate to help ensure a successful exercise.

EMC Committee members please note that the March 10 meeting has been cancelled.
