On Sunday, October 19th, District of Columbia first responders participated in a multi-location, full-scale emergency preparedness exercise. This exercise was designed to test and evaluate District emergency operations, techniques, procedures, and command and control relationships among first responders and District federal partners and stakeholders as they deal with a scenario of multiple simultaneous domestic terrorist attacks. The goal of the exercise was to ensure that government agencies at every level are prepared to take coordinated action to protect the public in the event of an actual emergency caused by an act of terrorism in the District. We thank the volunteers that helped to make this exercise realistic and functional.
