The fire station is located within Three (3) to Five (5) minute driving distance of the facility. The Incident Commander will authorize reentry into the evacuated area.

The Baptist Regional Medical Center will accept patients contaminated with Chlorine or Sufur Dioxide and have the capability to provide appropriate care, along with any other type of emergency that arises, they are equipped with a heliport for the immediate transport of patients. PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Protective actions and evacuation procedures to be taken will be decided by local public officials, following consultation with KyDES personnel, facility representatives and other techni cally qualified authorities. Actions taken will be for the protection of the emergency response workers on-site and populated areas off-site. These actions will depend upon the type of chemical, amount of chemical, weather conditions and other hazards involved, such as fire. If in-place sheltering is required, citizens will be advised to go in doors, close all windows and vents to the outside of the building, turn off air conditioners and fans, refrain from using clothes dryers and to fill cracks where outside air may enter. In the event of spill or release, radio stations WKDP and WCTT along with police/fire sirens will be utilized to notify residents weather to evacuate or to stay inside for the duration. This will depend on the size of spill and direction of travel. Also, police and fire personnel will go door-to-door to insure the evacuation of all affected residents. Schools and churches will be used as shelters if the necessity arises. The Baptist Medical Center Hospital has in place a decontamination unit specifically trained in chemical and/or other types of emergencies that may arise, and has had to implement the program on a few occasions. Entry into evacuated areas will be restricted until the highest ranking official representing the City of Corbin, Kentucky, (i.e. Mayor, Mayor pro-tem or City Commissioners) determine it permissible for authorized personnel to enter.
