The Urbanna Oyster Festival (UOF) police headquarters will be at the intersection of Cross and Prince George streets in the parking lot behind Bay Design.
Emergency medical services will be covered by zones and stationed at the Urbanna firehouse on Virginia Street near Urbanna Market; Bonner Street and Rappahannock Avenue near Festival Village; and the intersection of Virginia and Cross streets.
Lost and found will be at the Oyster Festival Information RV near Primis Bank.
At last year’s UOF, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) responded to 40 calls during the festival, reported Middlesex County Sheriff David P. Bushey.
There were 14 calls on the festival’s first day with only one person being transported to a hospital. On the second day, there were 26 calls with eight persons transported to a hospital.
A tall ship’s apparent firing of a ceremonial cannon reportedly triggered calls inquiring about the source of the sound of an explosion, though fireworks may have been involved as well. No injuries were reported in the incident.
