Howard County Health Department Exercise in Clemens Crossing
The Howard County Health Department and its partners (County Police, Fire & Rescue, Dept. of Corrections, Dept. of Public Works, Recreation & Parks, Office of Emergency Management, Dept. of Information Technology and Columbia Association) will be conducting a Mass Medication Dispensing Exercise in the Clemens Crossing neighborhood on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012. This event is in conjunction with a state-wide exercise being coordinated with the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control.
This exercise will test the county’s ability to respond to a public health emergency quickly and efficiently. The scenario will be that airborne Anthrax was released over the Ravens stadium in Baltimore, then drifted south over Howard County. The Health Department will distribute bags to 600 homes in Clemens Crossing; each bag will contain Anthrax information sheets, a medication distribution form, a community thank you letter and an EMPTY pill bottle. Everything will be labeled “EXERCISE ONLY.” Police officers will be in the area accompanying the delivery teams, both to allay any concerns of the public and to create a true-life situation in which the HCPD will simulate their responsibility in a public health emergency. Additionally, the Health Department’s Healthmobile/Communications Van will be at the Clemens Crossing Pool to allow remote monitoring by the department.
The Health Department will be communicating with Clemens Crossing residents directly with more details about this exercise. In the meantime, you can call the Village Manager with questions and watch the video below.
Village Center Community Plan
The Hickory Ridge Community Association is pleased to present the Hickory Ridge Village Center Community Plan (VCCP). We are very proud to be the first village to complete a plan under Council Bill 29-2009 (Village Center Revitalization) since its passage by the County Council almost three years ago. The VCCP was developed over a two year period by the Village Center Visualization Committee with assistance from village staff. Read the April 19 article in Columbia Patch about our village center.
