A national Homeland Security exercise called Liberty RadEx will take place in Philadelphia April 26-30.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the City of Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection are leading which will involve over 30 Federal, state and local agencies and more than 700 personnel at various locations in the city.
At some locations people can expect to see personnel in special protective clothing and workers simulating activities such as monitoring the air and collecting wipe samples from surfaces. Signs will be posted at these locations to inform the public that an exercise is taking place. The drill will test the country's capability to clean up and help communities recover from a terrorist attack. For more information, contact the EPA at 215-814-5100.
