Washington, DC, NOT To Go On Lockdown Tomorrow As Preparation For Korean Missile Attack

[mahatmakanejeeves]

This showed up on Google News Tuesday morning. It's a link to a British site that says the city is going into full lockdown in preparation for a Korean missile attack. I immediately smelled a rat, not having previously heard of the famous British news organization, Unilad. The commenters did a thorough job of ridiculing the article.

Washington To Go On Lockdown As Preparation For Korean Missile Attack

By: Hannah Watte

The U.S capital is all set to go into an emergency lockdown tomorrow, as the city prepares for a potential attack from North Korea, according to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.

Police, ambulance and fire crews will be assembling tomorrow, as the city plays out a full-scale civil defence exercise in case of a real attack from the closed off country.

What's really happening is just a wee bit less histrionic:

Full-scale exercise focused on preparing for complex terror attacks to include National Capital Region first responders, emergency managers

Apr 24, 2017

Law enforcement officials and other first responders will participate in a full-scale exercise on April 26 designed to prepare for the possibility of a complex coordinated terror attack in the National Capital Region.

Emergency managers who work together at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) planned the exercise to help protect residents by preparing for an attack involving multiple target locations and teams of perpetrators.

The regional exercise will be staged at six sites in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia, and will involve hundreds of police, fire, and emergency medical service personnel and volunteer actors. The locations include neighborhoods in the northeast and southeast quadrants of the District of Columbia, Prince George’s County, and Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Residents in those neighborhoods will be notified ahead of time to expect the exercise.

“Law enforcement officials practice and exercise their skills on their own regularly because that’s the best way to ensure we are always ready to respond quickly and professionally,” said Scott Boggs, Managing Director of Homeland Security and Public Safety at COG. “On April 26, we’ll go one step further and stage a very realistic emergency event involving multiple sites and actors posing as the casualties. However, there is no reason for residents to be alarmed because the exercise will occur in a controlled environment.”

WHEN: Wednesday April 26, 7:30 – 8:30 A.M.

1. Oh GEE!

Anyone including you needing a getaway, lemme know, only 60 miles south of DC.

My son in law, a deputy sheriff in PG, may know about it. Will find out.

2. No big deal. Just an exercise. They have them all the time.

There was one at Navy Yard-Ballpark over the weekend.

Ignore the chemtrails and black helicopters. They're your friends.
