The City of Noblesville reminds area residents that mock disaster training exercise will be conducted at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center on Sunday morning.
Those around the Downtown Square from 7:30 a.m. to noon will see in an increase of fire and law enforcement vehicles and personnel. The training event provides a hands-on experience for first responders to respond to a hazardous materials situation.
The exercise requires Logan Street to be closed between 8th Street and State Road 19 from 7:30 a.m. to the end of the exercise. Emergency vehicles will be entering the training zone along Conner Street and 8th Street, but should have minimal impact on traffic flow. Areas around the Government and Judicial Center may not be accessible to the public during this time in order to maintain safety during the event.
The event is planned by the Hamilton County Local Emergency Planning Committee, a resource committed to enhancing hazardous materials preparedness in case of a local incident or emergency. The group is responsible for an annual exercise to provide training for area first responders. Noblesville police and fire will be participating in the event.
