Coming up on Feb 1-8 the Kentucky government will be preparing itself for earthquake preparedness week.

To prepare for this threat, the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is developing two earthquake exercises in 2006. One exercise will cover Morehead in the east – the same area as the 1812 quake. The other will be held in the New Madrid Fault Area to the west. Both events will test Kentucky’s emergency responders and communities, emergency communications, school evaluation plans and private sector infrastructure restoration, as well as public health, hospital and environmental support.

So if your in the Moorhead area and you see some freaky choppers about. Don’t worry its the Government protecting you.
