On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management will conduct the 2026 San Juan County Full-Scale Drill.
The drill will take place at McGee Park, 41 Road 5568, at the intersection of US 64 and Road 5500. Police, fire department, and emergency medical service (EMS) activity will begin around 7:00 am and conclude at noon.
This is a continuation of the full-scale drill series that SJCOEM has been coordinating for first responders on an annual basis.
Local hospitals will also participate. San Juan Regional Medical Center, at 801 W Maple in Farmington, and Exceptional Community Hospital, at 2670 Pinon Frontage in Farmington, will receive simulated patients to test the capabilities of both facilities. Patients may be transported to the facilities by SJRMC ambulances or AIT ambulances. Both hospital emergency departments will remain open throughout the drill.
McGee Park will be closed to the public during the drill; however, Sunray Casino will remain open and can be accessed from the main parking lot.
The public can expect large concentrations of first responders at McGee Park. There will be simulated emergency radio transmissions on public safety frequencies.
There should be no impact on the public during the drill.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the San Juan County Office of Emergency Management at (505) 334-7700.
