Tekamah School Evacuation Drill
August 29, 2002

With what was deemed as a "credible" bomb threat being called into the Tekamah School Superintendent's office, officials decided it best to evacuate students to relocation shelters.

Simple, yes?

Well, add 650 K-12th grade students, a light mist in the air, multiple support agencies, it being early in the school year... and this being the first large scale event of this type in many years. Now what do you get? With good planning and cooperative arrangements, you get a well executed drill.

Students were escorted to designated shelters. Thrown into the drill were some simple injuries, a few students with anxiety, a couple of missing kids and "alotta" noise in the City Auditorium.
