earthquake incident.

Exercise Executive Briefing
|
|
Three conferences for the Golden Guardian 2008 Exercise were held prior to the exercise.
Afterwards, an After Action Conference is conducted to obtain feedback and to present
City and County policy makers with lessons learned, capability limitations, and
suggested improvement plans for the San Bernardino County Operational Area. After
the Golden Guardian 2006 and 2008 Exercises, as after any disaster, jurisdictions
implement an improvement plan through ongoing training, continued coordination,
and the development of new plans and procedures for their area.
|
|
Emergency Management Preparedness
|
|
County OES takes a proactive lead role with emergency management preparedness by
conducting discussion, tabletop, functional and full-scale exercises in San Bernardino
County. Exercises such as Golden Guardian serve as an awareness tool for County
Administrators of the first responders' capabilities to deter, prevent, respond
and recover from potential terrorist attacks or large-scale natural disasters. This
type of exercise reinforces positive agency collaboration while allowing participants
an opportunity to gain confidence in their abilities through structured response.
|

|
|
The Golden Guardian 2008 Exercise was a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional exercise
that includes first responders, role players, VIPs and observers, controllers, evaluators
