“Wayside Road is temporarily closed between Karen and Sandra due to a hydraulic fluid spill. Detours are in place, cleanup underway. #NeptuneTraffic”Last week, Neptune Township Office of Emergency Management participated in a full-scale exercise alongside first responders from around the county. The drill was held at the former Contential corporate campus located at Route 66 and Green Grove Road in Neptune Township. The scenario consisted of a hostile terror group occupying the empty buildings to cook up drugs and homemade chemical explosive devices. While they were working to create these devices, one detonated within the building causing a release of chemicals with a visible cloud called in by a passerby who reported the smoke. From there, the scenario expanded with firefighters making entry to the empty building and discovering no active fire, but a series of clandestine labs and assorted chemicals, as well as nearly a dozen "victims". Hazmat technicians were requested and made entry to determine the nature of the chemicals and any potential hazards, while emergency medical services worked to stabilize the victims/suspects and law enforcement investigated the possible illicit activity.
Each element of the response was carefully evaluated by experts in their respective fields, including fire, police, EMS, OEM, hospital treatment, communications, decontamination, and HazMat. Immediately following the drill, all participants met with the evaluators for a brief, informal discussion about what went well and what needed improvement, to be followed up by a detailed after-action report created in the coming weeks.
We were thrilled to be able to arrange and participate in this full-scale exercise at no cost to the Township thanks to a grant obtained from the New Jersey State Police Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Program. Thank you to all those who participated, including our "victims" who spent hours having realistic injuries applied (moulage) by Nancy Papay and her make-up team and all of the volunteers who attended to help sharpen their skills.
