On Saturday, April 24, Microsoft Corp. will collaborate with the city of Redmond fire and police departments, 911 dispatch center, Overlake Medical Center and other local agencies to conduct an emergency preparedness training exercise to help ensure that the local community can respond in the most coordinated and effective manner in the event of a real emergency.
The exercise is designed to help public and private sectors leverage each other's expertise and develop a strong, unified emergency response plan. Local agencies conduct these exercises routinely, and Microsoft is helping the city of Redmond fulfill its annual requirement by hosting the event on its campus. This exercise has been designed to simulate an emergency situation with mock patients and emergency vehicles from local law enforcement, fire and emergency agencies.
