Update 8 am May 10
The Deputy Director of NH Homeland Security and Emergency Management says:
1) NH Don't do "out drills" because sending kids to Keene increases the risk to the kids (bus accident). This is patently ridiculous, it is like saying kids don't go off site with buses for sports and for invaluable off site educational experience because they can get into a bus accident...
They don't want to create a oppertunity of time test of the bus companies to get a fleet of buses to Hinsdale.
Where did the Hinsdale offical come up with the phrase "out drill"...
2) She said the drill wasn't completed at 11:30 as that contradicted Hasting and the command center...
Vermont Yankee Emergency drill (May 3, 201!)
How the information came to me
Information from a angry Hinsdale official
9 AM: Hinsdale got a phone announcement a VY drill was going to happen...everyone for days had been warned.
10 AM: alert to site area.
11:05: General Emergency and sending buses @ 11:45 AM
!!! it going to be a "full out drill" meaning the kids are going to Keene coming from the emergency command post...
High school immediately when into lunch mode for all the kids and then they all went to the auditorium in anticipation of going to Keene...
Absolutely no communications cues through the command post back channel with Hinsdale school officials...going to bus your kids out shortly after noon, you might want to feed the kids beforehand...
12:45 PM: Hinsdale got itchy with no communications and no buses yet, they called the emergency command post, Cliff Hasting said he called the drill completed at 11:30am. Hinsdale was never was called to say drill has been completely and canceled.
*** absolutely no communication with the Hinsdale school superintendent.
*** we don't think the Hinsdale elementary school was ever notified of anything, maybe the command post thew them a record message... it looks like the elementary school was completely out of the loop and fried.
*** seems to be rumors if you call the emergency command post right now there is still a loop recorded message saying VY is in a general emergency...
