First Responders Conduct Successful Simulated Emergency at UC Merced
First responders from across Merced County converged on UC Merced Thursday for what they said was a highly successful response to a simulated emergency.
Police officers, sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and medical personnel assembled at the university’s library to carry out incident duties and protocols. The UC Merced Police Department and Office of Emergency Management led the simulation — a yearly exercise at the university designed to enhance and evaluate the agencies’ collaboration and incident effectiveness.
