Multi-agency Public Safety Training to Take Place in Marquette

Marquette, MI - Marquette County, the city of Marquette, and Northern Michigan University are set to host planned, public safety training next week. Training runs from Monday to Wednesday in and around Mattson Lower Harbor Park, the NMU campus, and Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport. Local, state, federal, and non-profit agencies will come together to strengthen coordination, communication, and joint response capabilities. Training will include marine safety, hazardous materials response training, as well as collaboration and coordination among participating agencies. These exercises are designed to provide an opportunity for partners to practice working together, share information, coordinate resources, and strengthen relationships that are critical during real-world emergencies.
Residents and visitors in the area may see emergency vehicles, personnel in protective equipment, and other visible training activities, and are being asked to avoid entering designated training areas and to follow any directions from public safety personnel.
