Don't panic Friday if your surroundings erupt with
sounds and images more familiar in Kandahar
than Denver.

More than 100 emergency agencies will take
part in a terrorism response exercise that
promises to attract attention throughout the
metro area.

Simulated explosions will boom, smoke will rise,
and emergency vehicles will blare warning
signals as fake weapons are drawn.

The exercise, Operation Mountain Guardian Operation OMG , is
scheduled to begin at 5 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.
m. and will involve 14 separate locations.
The exercise is an opportunity for regional first
responders to react to a mock terrorist-driven
catastrophe.

"We want to make sure that people will know
this is what is happening on Friday," said Denver D
istrict Attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.
Most of the action will break out at five locations
over the course of the day: Park Meadows Mall;
Smedley Elementary School; Union Station;
Community College of Aurora; and Denver
International Airport.

Sky Ridge Medical Center; Denver Health Medical
Center and University of Colorado Hospital, will
test their ability to handle a surge of injured
patients during the drill. And Sports Authority
Field at Mile High Stadium "may have a small role
in helping to process the (pretend) mass
casualties," Kimbrough said.

Catholic Charities will serve as an evacuation
center where children from Smedley will be
taken.
