Natchez High School sophomore and Health Science Class student Cassandra Ford lays on a stretcher while receiving practice medical attention for a fake impalement from Metro Ambulance employees Tyler Forman and Rosa Newman during an emergency preparedness drill at Elevance. The drill scenario was that a tornado struck the port area, destroying a building and causing a chemical fire. The point of the drill was to test first responder’s response times, communication and ability to work under pressure. (Sam Gause / Natchez Democrat)
