A notice to the community that Windsor Regional Hospital will be conducting a training exercise on Friday.
On February 7, the hospital along with several community partners such as Windsor Police, Windsor Fire, Essex-Windsor EMS, and Emergency Management Ontario, will be conducting a regional emergency disaster drill.
The exercises will take place at both the Met campus, and the Ouellette campus, and will simulate a disaster scenario to test emergency response capabilities.
The hospital is informing the community that patient care will not be impacted or delayed by this exercise, however there will be a heavier than normal presence of emergency personnel around the Emergency Departments.
This is only a test of a Code Orange scenario.
Signage will be in place noting this is strictly a training exercise.
