[Scan-DC] Pentagon test planned for June 2nd

[Alan Henney]

Arlington County and the Pentagon will conduct an emergency response
test for a simulated biological attack. This will include a number of
Arlington emergency vehicles and public safety personnel and will help
us to respond better in an actual emergency. These efforts are part of
our ongoing partnership with the Pentagon to improve safety, security
and emergency management.

The only road closure will be eastbound South Gate Road from Orme
Street to Columbia Pike; eastbound traffic will be diverted onto Orme
Street from 6am to noon.  All other roads will remain open. Curiosity
about the test may cause some traffic congestion in the immediate
area.

The test is completely safe for participants and bystanders. In the
event of unfavorable weather conditions, alternate test dates are June
3, 16, and 17.
