It looked like a Hollywood movie set.<\/p>\n

For four hours, the parking lot of the I-77 Express<\/a>\/I-77 Mobility Partners<\/a> headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, swarmed with EMS first responders, area police officers, firefighters, sheriff deputies, highway police officers and I-77 employees, each playing their role in a large-scale emergency response drill complete with a flipped school bus, make-shift landing pad and medivac.<\/p>\n

\u201cA well-run scene can make the difference between life and death\u201d said Greg Freeman, I-77 Express Safety Manager, who planned this event with Rob Boisvert, Corporate Affairs Director, earlier this month.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\u201cThey jumped at the idea to also train their staff in this situation and asked if we can designate potential landing spots along the roadway,\u201d Rob said. \u201cThis proved to be a tremendous knowledge, process and coordination learning opportunity. I think everyone walked away feeling better prepared to respond to a large-scale incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n We have 26 miles of highway, so we interact with multi-jurisdictional agencies when an incident occurs. This exercise was designed to improve the efficiency, communication and cooperation between first responders and our Express Safety Service Patrol (SSP) technicians during a large-scale roadway incident <\/blockquote>\n\n
