Time: 0730-1030hrs

Place: East Patchogue Area (IFO) 510 Narragansett Ave.

Event: Large Scale Mass Casualty Drill

On Saturday February 10th, the South Country Ambulance Company will be conducting a joint large-scale Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) drill in our community.

The purpose of the drill is to simulate a large-scale emergency and test the response capabilities of our first responders. While the drill is taking place certain roads in the community will be temporarily closed to ensure the safety of the participants and the public.

There are over 25 different emergency services and community agencies participating in the drill. As a result, community members will notice a marked increase in emergency vehicle activity in the area between the hours of 7:30am and 10:30am. The drill will take place primarily north on Montauk Highway, and east of N. Dunton Ave., in East Patchogue.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we believe that conducting these drills is crucial for the safety and well-being of our community. We kindly request your understanding and cooperation during this time.

EMS Command: South Country Ambulance, Chief Gregory C. Miglino Jr.
