Evacuation Plan Sets Emergency State Seat
Ohio University at Athens is eyed as the emergency seat of state government due to its isolation from major target cities and on site facilities including a radio station hospital and airport. Cutler Hall would host the governor and lieutenant governor while 18 campus buildings would house 36 state offices. A trial run may involve 250 people with 1200 in full relocation. Cleveland Federal Reserve and Columbus Selective Service offices also plan moves to Athens in a national emergency.
