On the scene

Gilman Hall was the scene of a disaster response exercise July 11 as local police, health and environmental agencies responded to a simulated chemical release. The exercise began about 8 a.m. with a call to department of public safety for medical assistance. As the scenario developed, "victims" were evacuated, decontaminated and treated. Nearly 200 people, including ISU environmental health and safety staff, participated in the exercise, which concluded about 1:30 p.m. Photo by Bob Elbert.
