Please Join Us For A Day of Service In Support Of
West Hartford's Emergency Management and Fire Department

 We Invite Yale Club of Hartford members
To Serve as Actors in a
Disaster Simulation Drill

Saturday, May 13
9 am - 2 pm

Conard High School
West Hartford, CT

We invite you to join us as we assist the West Hartford Fire Department and West Hartford Office of Emergency Management as they conduct the largest, full-scale disaster drill in the town’s history.  The drill will help the Town of West Hartford prepare for its role as a “Host Community” for residents who live near the Millstone Power Plant in the event of a nuclear accident near New London, CT.

The scenario for the drill is to activate West Hartford's Emergency Shelter at Conard High School and be ready to receive and process residents of Montville and Waterford.  These simulated “residents” will be asked to evacuate due to an incident at the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant in Waterford near New London.  West Hartford’s role is to scan simulated “evacuees”, their vehicles, and their pets for hazardous particles and then provide assistance, counseling, and placement services, if needed.

The State of CT and the Town of West Hartford need additional actors to play various roles for the exercise. Volunteers will receive just-in-time training.  Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be onsite and evaluating the exercise.

The simulation exercise will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 9 am - 2 pm at Conard High School, 110 Beechwood Rd, West Hartford, CT 06107.  If interested, please contact Katherine McCormack at kmccormack@aya.yale.edu for more details.
