2026 Full Scale Mass Disaster Drill CVG
What a great group to work alongside!

09/18/2026

Kenton County Coroner's Office participated in the yearly Mass Disaster Drill. The Coroner's and Deputy Coroner's from Kenton, Boone, and Owen County worked alongside each other along with our Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Bill Ralston. Training is the only way to ensure operational readiness, maintain agency coordination, and preserve human dignity during a disaster.

🚨 CVG’s full-scale emergency exercise is happening this Friday, Sept. 18 🚨

If you’re traveling through or passing by the airport Friday morning, you may notice emergency vehicles, CVG staff, first responders, and actors participating in emergency response training.

Please do not be alarmed! There is no real emergency, and flights will continue as normal.

This exercise gives CVG staff, local first responders, and area hospitals the opportunity to train together and strengthen our coordinated response to an emergency.

Top 5 presenter I’ve ever heard!
Attended the Kentucky’s Coroner Conference this week in Bowling Green. Was able to take 2 Deputy Coroner’s as well.

The Kentucky Coroners Association welcomes Dr. P. Michael Murphy as a featured speaker today.

With more than 40 years of experience in law enforcement and public service, Dr. Murphy brings a depth of knowledge that is both rare and impactful. From serving as Chief of Police in Mesquite, Nevada, to leading national efforts as the former National AMBER Alert Coordinator with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, his career has been defined by leadership, service, and innovation.

Dr. Murphy also spent 13 years as the Clark County Coroner in Nevada, serving the Las Vegas area, giving him firsthand experience in medicolegal death investigations and the challenges faced by coroners and death investigators every day. As a Fellow of the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators (F-ABMDI) and former President of the International Association of Coroners & Medical Examiners, he has played a key role in advancing professional standards across the field.

In addition to his operational leadership, Dr. Murphy is the President and CEO of MPOWER USA, where he continues to shape leaders nationwide through consulting and training. He is also a published author and a recognized subject matter expert, frequently appearing on programs such as 48 Hours and America’s Most Wanted.

We look forward to the insight and perspective he will share with attendees today in Bowling Green.
