The United States Environmental Protection Agency (Cincinnati office) practiced a scenario involving a train derailment in Latonia. The exercise happened at the Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati at 315 W Southern Avenue. What a terrific, hidden gem in the city. Check it out ASAP: http://cincirailmuseum.org/
It will be an emergency taken very seriously, only it will be a fictitious situation. On Wednesday, the United States Environmental Protection Agency will conduct an emergency preparedness exercise in Latonia involving a train derailment. While the scenario will not be real, the actions of the responders and the actors will be extremely serious. The EPA wants residents around the 300 block of West Southern Avenue to know that the designated area being used will be clearly marked and that the exercise may disrupt some daily routines. Naturally, the train derailment exercise will happen near the Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati in Covington.
SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH AS MANY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AS POSSIBLE TO KEEP CONFUSION AND POSSIBLE PANIC TO A MINIMUM.
