Emergency Management
City participates in Cleveland Clinic radiological and decontamination exercise
The Office of Emergency Management attended the Cleveland Clinic radiological and decontamination practice exercise at Martin North Hospital in Stuart on Dec . 5 . This is a Federal Emergency Management Agency exercise that included Cleveland Clinic hospital staff , FEMA , Department of Health Martin County Fire Rescue and emergency management representatives from St . Lucie and Martin counties .
The exercise actors were transported by ambulance to the hospital ’ s emergency entrance , where a decontamination tent had been set up in the parking lot . After an assessment , hospital personnel followed protocols to safely decontaminate each patient .
After being fully decontaminated , patients were transferred onto a hospital gurney . If this had been a real scenario , the patients could have been safely wheeled straight into the ER to continue treatment for any other injuries .
The Office of Emergency Management is happy to support Cleveland Clinic and its work with the area ’ s emergency management stakeholders to address the community ’ s radiological treatment needs .
