The annual exercise, spon- sored by the California De- partment of Public Health and Emergency Medical Services Au- thority, is meant to improve un- derstanding of response proce- dures, build collaborative rela- tionships and identify areas for improvement, according to the press release issued this week by Dignity Health. This year's scenario is a multi- casualty simulated incident in- volving a train versus a bus and emphasis will be on rapid, safe triage and treatment of multi- ple patients. Students from Red Bluff High School will be partic- ipating as the actors during the event. The drill will begin with a ta- bletop exercise followed by the full scale exercise at 8 a.m. A variety of Tehama County agencies will be involved in this year's exercise including Cal Fire, California Highway Patrol, St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital, Red Bluff Fire Department, Red Bluff Union High School, Red Bluff Police Department, Sheriff's Team of Active Retired Seniors, St. Eliz- abeth Mobile Life Support Unit, Tehama County Environmen- tal Health, Tehama County Fire Department, Tehama County Health Services Agency, Te- hama County Sheriff's Office and Union Pacific. Each agency participating in the exercise can choose objec- tives that will challenge and de- velop its own specific emergency preparedness programs. All jurisdictions across Cali- fornia are participating to some degree on Thursday, according to the release. Enloe Medical Center in Chico will be holding a similar drill noon to 5 p.m. Thursday. PUBLIC SAFETY Emergencyresponseexerciseset By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff Union High School choirs are teaming up with the Salvation Army choir and band to pres- ent a special holiday show that starts at 7 p.m. Thursday in the school's Performing Arts Cen- ter. The idea for the show, which will feature music from the likes of Bing Crosby, Elvis and many other performers of the USO era, came about when Choir Director Diane Hassay was asked to sing at a benefit concert honoring Opera Direc- tor Gwen Curatilo. A Salvation Army album features Curatilo singing with Bing Crosby. "Every year, the Salvation Army put together an album of either their band or choir to raise funds to help out the needy through various projects of the organization," Hassay said. "When I saw the album Gwen did with Bing Crosby I got the idea of doing a live show that could also be a benefit." Several of the students in the show will be volunteering as bell ringers during the up- coming holiday season. The show will honor the students, other volunteers and the work of the Salvation Army. During the show, there will be a bell ringer with the red kettle many associate with the Salvation Army outside the concert along with a Christ- mas tree decorated with angels commonly known as an Angel Tree that will have names of local families needing help for Christmas, Hassay said. "We're doing it early to help kick off the holiday season lo- cally, to honor the troops with the USO theme along with the singers like Bing Crosby and Elvis who helped keep up the spirits of the troops while fea- turing great kids," Hassay said. The show will feature Con- cert Choir, Mixed Choir and Forte along with two student accompanists, Leslie Soto and Nathan Townley. Hassay will direct the show, Oscar Razo will serve as technical direc- tor and Sherry King will be cos- tume designer. A Salvation Army General will give a brief historical pre- sentation. At one point during the show, the students will per- form a number during which pictures of family members serving overseas or those who have served in the past will be featured. "We hope the community will turn out for this lovely event to honor the great art- ists, the work of the Salvation Army and the hours of volun- teering over the years," Hassay said. "It's going to be a lovely concert." Tickets for the show, which is sponsored by the Salvation Army, are $5 and available at the door.
