Drill planned tomorrow at elementary school

The School District of Oconee County is assisting FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association) in a nuclear evacuation drill at Keowee Elementary School on Tuesday, September 27, 2016.  “We sent letters home to all parents at the school,” said Steve Hanvey, Assistant Superintendent of Operations. “However, we also want to alert the community about the drill. People may see buses escorted by police cars and should not be alarmed. This is just a practice drill.” FEMA constantly evaluates evacuation plans and procedures through information learned during training and drill programs.
