A table-top training exercise brought first responders from Northeast State and the City of Kingsport together last week at the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing in Kingsport.
Northeast State director of Auxiliary Services, Larry Hatfield, conducted the exercise with members of Northeast State Police Department, the City of Kingsport Police and Fire departments and Central Dispatch services.
The exercise sought to improve the coordination between the various agencies, evaluate the communication process, and assess the decision-making process between Northeast State and first responders in the event of an emergency situation at a Kingsport Academic Village facility.
