Keep an ear on your scanners:

Three day metro-wide disaster drill

The bioterrorism exercise that starts Tuesday is big. The exercise--which
simulates a terrorist attack involving a biological weapon--will unfold across
50 different venues and some 65 jurisdictions from Gresham to Tigard.

The imagined scenarios will play out at seven main locations, organizers said,
on Wednesday and Thursday; Tuesday is reserved for planning and set-up.

Well, I don't know if they had a good time goring through the drill, but us folk down in Sherwood had our own "live" disaster exercise we went through - lost power TWICE, in addition to blowing a surge protector and losing a cable box!

All the scanners were tucked safely in the PEM Suitcase, so no harm to them!

I heard Clark County EOC trying to reach Multnomah County EOC on their primary ARES repeater and nobody ever answered.... not sure if ARES was activated for the exercise or not...
