Eco-Crisis Drill Under Way in Kloogarand
Emergency services are training in Kloogarand today to respond to accidents that threaten environmental pollution.
The annual exercise will prepare rescue teams, police and volunteers from the Nature Fund to cooperate in isolating and cleaning up a 10-ton petroleum spill, a press release from the Rescue Board said.
Participants will set up 400-meter barriers to protect the coastal shoreline and practice collection of the would-be oil spill into containers.
After first responders have the situation under control, emergency services will hand over the reins to the Environmental Board.
Thursday's drill will conclude at 15:00.
