Alabama emergency officials this week will conduct a statewide test of hurricane communications equipment.
Communications coordinator Chuck Murph will lead the week-long exercise from a site in Baldwin County.
The training includes a scenario centering around a hurricane striking Alabama’s coast and disabling most commercial and public safety communication infrastructure.
