FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORTH ADAMS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND NORTH ADAMS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY TO CONDUCT MULTI-AGENCY EMERGENCY COORDINATION DRILL 

North Adams Public Schools, in partnership with the North Adams Departments of Public Safety and North Adams Ambulance, will conduct a daylong, multi-agency emergency coordination drill on Thursday, June 26th, 2025. This full-scale training event will take place at Drury High School and is part of ongoing planning and collaboration between several agencies following a tabletop planning exercise held in early May.

This drill is focused on inter-agency coordination and logistical response following an active safety incident, not on the immediate response. 

It is a key opportunity for agencies to rehearse the real-world coordination that must occur following a significant emergency.

The drill is designed to help all participating agencies enhance preparedness, communication, and coordination in the event of an emergency. These efforts will support all those involved in responding to safety incidents across the community.

Questions or concerns may be directed to the Public Safety Business Manager, Meghan DeLuca, at (413) 662-3101 or mdeluca@northadams-ma.gov or North Adams Police Chief Mark Bailey at (413) 664-4945 or chiefbailey@northadams-ma.gov.
