This civil security exercise linked to technological risk, will be led by the prefect of Hérault as part of the departmental ORSEC system, will take place this Wednesday, November 13 morning within the premises of the GDH company located in the commune of Frontignan – La Peyrade.
This exercise will give rise to triggering of industrial and municipal alert sirens as well as the use of the FR-Alert tool which allows notifications to be sent to the mobile phones of people present in the danger zone. A security perimeter will be set up by the authorities.
The exercise will test:
► the phase internal to the industrialist: during this first part the Internal Operation Plan (POI) will be tested by the industrialist, the commitment of its own resources and the pre-alert of the services of the State ;
► the Particular Intervention Plan (PPI) phase: the prefect of Hérault will take charge of Emergency Operations (DOS). A Departmental Operational Center (COD) is planned in the prefecture as well as an Operational Command Post (PCO) on site;
► the coordination of all the services involved: state services (prefecture, DREAL, DDTM), Frontignan town hall, SDIS 34, Gendarmerie 34, National Police 34, ARS, departmental council, etc.
The prefect of Hérault François-Xavier Lauch recalls that regular training of actors involved in crisis management (internal security forces, firefighters, etc.) is essential to test the maneuvers, operational systems and inter-service coordination.
