MIDLAND, TX (KWES) - If you see an increase in activity near Midland Memorial Hospital on May 2, don’t worry-it’s just a drill.

The hospital and several local partners will be conducting a disaster drill on from 1 to 4:30 p.m. that day.

The event will take place primarily near the parking garage and the Emergency Department. People will be role-playing as injured victims to help hospital staff prepare in case of a disaster.

During the drill, there will be an increase in activity around the hospital and some of the “disaster victims” might be visible to those driving by.
