This drill, conducted in collaboration with the Uintah School District, will include a simulated scenario involving a school bus and semi-truck. Please note: the bus did not actually crash; it's a simulation, and no one will be injured. This multi-jurisdictional, multi-discipline drill will evaluate the operational capability of emergency management systems in a simulated high-stress environment. Your safety is our priority. Please avoid the area if possible, and exercise caution if traveling along Hwy 191 on that date. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to enhance our emergency response capabilities here in the Uintah Basin.
A map of the scenario can be found HERE.
