Russell District Hospital Emergency Disaster Plan Exercise
Saturday exercise in Russell tested local readiness for a vehicle crash scenario. About 15 Major Pratt Collegiate volunteers simulated injuries while Manitoba Health Services Commission and St John Ambulance personnel supervised the drill. Calls triggered hospital, police, ambulance and fire dispatches as volunteers evacuated, treated, and transported mock casualties to designated areas. Funds for stretchers came from the Russell Legion. Kinsmen helped move patients inside. The exercise demonstrated strong cooperation among hospital, police, fire, and community groups and was deemed a success.
