Beginning at 4pm more than 200 participants, including organisations such as the NSW Police, State Emergency Services, Dubbo Hospital, Royal Flying Doctor Service, Dubbo Regional Council and the Salvation Army, will take part in the training exercise.
Orana Mid-Western Police Force said the exercise was initially planned for December 2, 2017 but was postponed due to inclement weather.
“Your Dubbo emergency service operatives want to keep you safe, so we are training for the worst so we know if it happens for real, we are in the best possible position to respond,” police said.
“We can't give away the scenario but the whole exercise will involve over 200 participants, made up of emergency personnel, official visitors, and volunteers, and a heap of props.”
The Daily Liberal has been invited to cover the event live. Follow along on the website from 4pm for ongoing updates on the emergency scenario as it unfolds.
