On May 13, 2009 an F2 tornado struck Kirksville killing 2 people and doing extensive damage to the city.Thankfully, the triage capabilities of the hospital and emergency response teams were not overwhelmed.

Since that may not always be the case, it is imperative for the whole community to be educated on the appropriate response to an emergency situation.
