📢 EXERCISE ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

🚨 Final CSEPP Exercise on June 12, 2024 🚨

Outdoor warning sirens near the Army Depot will sound for a CSEPP Exercise. This is only a TEST! There is NO emergency.

The Bluegrass Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) will conduct its final exercise, involving eight area counties, the Blue Grass Army Depot, and the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant. This drill concludes over three decades of dedication to public safety and emergency readiness.

If there were a real chemical accident at the Blue Grass Army Depot, Madison County residents could receive alerts from:

Outdoor warning sirens
AlertFM receivers
RAVE Alerts
Wireless emergency alerts on cell phones
Radio and television alerts

Exercising how our staff responds to simulated accidents helps prepare us for real-world emergencies.

Thank you LEX 18 for featuring Shift Supervisor Riley in your story about the importance of mental health for Public-Safety Telecommunicators. Your support helps shine a light on the vital work our team does every day.

Emergency dispatchers find ways to manage mental health Every job comes with its own form of stress, and for dispatchers, that comes in the form of taking call after call and dealing with life-or-death situations.

We honor and remember the fallen heroes who sacrificed everything for our freedom this Memorial Day. May they never be forgotten.
