Mock emergency evacuation set for Tuesday at Lake Wylie
On Tuesday, Lake Wylie will be swarmed by law enforcement officers from both Carolinas and surrounding counties.
The two-state effort is a mock evacuation mandated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It will simulate a catastrophic incident at Catawba Nuclear
Station.
Participating agencies include the York County Sheriff's Office, Gaston County Police Department, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, S.C. Department of
Natural Resources, N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, and emergency planning agencies from the three counties surrounding the lake. FEMA investigators will
evaluate the drill. -- John Marks, Lake Wylie Pilot
