Just though I'd ask as we prepare for the games.

Utah is readily going through State sponsored training to better prepare us in the event of a WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) or Terroist event.

I am recieivng over 60 hours of formal training this month alone. With any luck, hopefully all fo this training will go unused, but will be nice to be ready if it does happen in our neck of the woods.

You may want to see if there is anything from Georgia Emergency Management Agency regarding these issues. And Salt Lake is definitely in a major process of ramping up their providers for the Olympics. You may want to check with Salt Lake FD and the surrounding areas. Plus, Slat Lake has been part of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program for years, so that may have laid the framework.
