Operation Purple Haze - The Baltimore Ravens Need Your Help  

The day-long event will start at 9:00 am on August 2, 2008 and end at approximately 2:00pm.  The Baltimore Ravens, the City of Baltimore, and the State of Maryland are testing response procedures at M&T Bank Stadium, which will serve as a hypothetical site under "attack".  Representatives of  "first responders"” – police, fire, volunteer agencies, stadium officials, and others – will be actively playing in dealing with this type of emergency.  

This exercise is important to the safety of the Baltimore Ravens fans and players as the exercise capitalizes, reinforces, and provides feedback to the First Responder Community.  It will also help us to develop, sustain, and provide feedback of emergency response operations as this is a great learning opportunity for the responders to examine the unique aspects of responding to a terrorist incident at our stadium.

*** Free parking will be available in lot B and free food, non-alcoholic beverages and entertainment will be provided to you throughout the day.  There will also be a raffle with lots of great Ravens items including a large flat screen TV available to any volunteer attending the event. ****
