City of Hays

On Thursday, the City of Hays, in partnership with local, regional, state and federal agencies, will partake in a required triennial full-scale exercise to test the emergency response of all the necessary agencies that would provide aid to the airport in the event of a major catastrophe.

During the exercise, the Hays Regional Airport would like to encourage citizens to be diligent and aware of all responding agencies that may be partaking in this event and to obey all traffic laws in order to keep our first responders safe. As part of this exercise, you may witness smoke coming from the airport. Please be aware, that this is likely part of the planned drill.
