[Important Information for Employees] TODAY| SUNY Plattsburgh Hosts First Responder Mass Casualty Training Exercise

[Michael Caraballo]

Dear campus community,

This is a reminder that SUNY Plattsburgh will host a critical First
Responder Mass Casualty Training Exercise *today*, Thursday, May 23rd,
2024, from 7:00 AM to noon at the Plattsburgh Field House and UVM Health
Network at CVPH.

This exercise aims to enhance the readiness and coordination of area
emergency response agencies in the face of a potential mass casualty
incident.

During the training exercise, *the Field House property will be closed* to
the public for the safe execution of emergency response protocols. Visitors
and bystanders are advised to avoid the Field House during the specified
time frame since there will be a significant presence of emergency vehicles
and personnel engaged in simulated emergency scenarios.

Throughout the exercise, participating first responders will operate on
designated emergency radio frequencies to simulate real-world communication
procedures during crisis situations.

*It is important to emphasize that this event is solely a training exercise
and not a response to any actual emergency. *SUNY Plattsburgh remains
committed to ensuring the safety and preparedness of its community and the
broader region in collaboration with local, state, and federal emergency
response partners.
