Wheeler Whitewood Emergency Preparedness - Life Flight landing

05/11/2022

Wheeler continues to focus on safety and emergency protocols across all locations. Our Whitewood, SD location held a full-scale emergency planning exercise in conjunction with Lawrence County Emergency Management on Saturday April 30th. This exercise, totaling approximately 100 people, involved Wheeler employees, first responders from three counties, and the RCP&E Railroad. Participating organizations included volunteer fire fighters, ambulance service, Lawrence County Dispatch, Life Flight, Civil Air Patrol, National Weather Service, South Dakota Department of Environment & Natural Resources, Spearfish and Sturgis hospitals, and local governments including Whitewood, Spearfish, Sturgis, and Deadwood. The exercise was a great success, and our employees did a fantastic job implementing our response plan. These training exercises are extremely important for learning and improving our emergency plans and procedures.
