MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -- The 42nd Air Base Wing is scheduled to conduct an emergency response training event July 17, between 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Maxwell Air Force Base Elementary School. Base personnel are asked to avoid the area.
The training event will involve multiple training scenarios to prepare service members to respond to emergency situations. Members will be on scene during training scenarios to ensure public safety. This training is a prescheduled event and is not in response to any current events or potential threats.
Increased noise and activity to include sound effects, simulated gunfire, sirens and noises from emergency vehicles, may be heard. Visual effects such as smoke may also be seen.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within the local communities and to normal base operations, but there may be times when the training event causes traffic delays around base.
In the event of a real-world situation the training event will be terminated, and the base will be notified through the official Maxwell Air Force Base Facebook page and AtHoc notification system.
