Did you know it's National Preparedness Month? (Yeah, neither did I, but so it is!) As a result, there's going to be plenty of emergency workers out and about in the D.C. area this weekend, running drills to make sure that in the event something awful happens, they'll be ready. WTOP's Adam Tuss notes that there will be numerous spots in Northern Virginia where scenario training will occur. The District has not officially announced where they will be conducting training, but a tipster alerts us that one of the locations will be on 19th Street NW, between K Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The exercise is scheduled to occur between 8 a.m. and noon, but the 19th Street closure could last until approximately 4 p.m., as the District's Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency conducts a private training drill in and around 900 19th Street. No live weapons will be used in the exercise.

There is less than a week left in the month. Oh and someone cue CNN so we don't have a repeat of the Potomac events on September 11th.
Looking forward to "National Law Enforcement Month", which the cops celebrate by arresting criminals. And also "National Fire Fighting Month" and "National Emergency Medecine Month."
Jeesh! Just when you thought the whole "Homeland Security" culture couldn't become more of a parody of itself ...
"National Law Enforcement Month" is when the cops come to DC, get drunk, drive on the sidewalk, fire their weapons into the air, and act like assholes. But, after all they are "veterans".
