Hennepin County worked on a drive-through emergency medication dispensing plan in the Eden Prairie Center parking lot today.

Cars were directed through lines where they received M&Ms (standing in for the medication) and coupons.

The drill helped the county health department prepare for dangerous disease outbreaks, according to information on the county Web site.

Eden Prairie's police and fire departments assisted with the drill.
