"Practice Emergency Preparedness"
This has gone out via phone by Mayor's Office in Malden, street signs in Wakefield and Wicked Local sites.
Hemlock Road is a >1/2 mile long access road into and then around the school. It ends up being over a mile round trip on GFZ "school grounds" in MA.
Here is a recent thread on school grounds. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/297848-school-property-question?highlight=gfz
In a mass emergency situation I can not believe that I would sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a GFZ road with no way to turn away if needed.

April 20 4-8 p.m. NE Metropolitan Regional Vocational School Wakefield MA
STONEHAM
Wakefield residents are invited to participate in a “Drive Through Clinic” to practice emergency preparedness for the community from 4 to 8 p.m. April 20 at the Northeast Regional Vocational School, 100 Hemlock Road, Wakefield (in the back of Wakefield Memorial High School on Farm Road). If the town needs to distribute supplies (such as water) or medication (if there is a disease outbreak), a Drive Through Clinic will be set up for families to come and pick up the supplies or medication.
In this practice Drive Through Clinic, participants will drive through the site and receive a gallon of water, a tote with a variety of information and “practice medication.” A police officer certified in child car seats will also be checking all participants’ child seats to ensure they have been safely installed.
This exercise will help determine which sites will work for the area in the case of a regional emergency.
For information, call the Wakefield Health Department at 781-246-6375.
