Imaginary disaster drill tests Goshen emergency plans
A simulated tornado drill held in Goshen last Saturday at 1 p.m. involved Clermont County Disaster Services Agency and Goshen emergency units with nine life squad units and multiple fire departments along with police and hospital participation. Volunteers acted as victims with makeup, while evaluators from regional disaster agencies assessed responses to fires, gas leaks, auto accidents, and electrocutions to test the new disaster plans.

Goshen disaster drill exposes radio and warning gaps
Emergency units lacked advance notice of a staged disaster in Goshen though local police and fire chiefs were informed. The review notes poor cross system radio communication across Clermont County six sections and calls for common lines and warning differentiation for residents and a county wide simulation possibly involving multiple counties.
