The 2024 Cal OES WMD Summit – Multiagency CBRNE Training Event took place in Sacramento California this year with a Day-1 Table Top Exercise (TTX) at the California State Railroad Museum and the Day-2 Field Training Exercise (FTX) at the new El Dorado Hills Fire Department Training Center.
A key objective for this ongoing event is to better prepare local, state and federal agencies for CBRNE & WMD emergencies including building relationships between representatives of agencies involved.
With about 280 attendees and 30 support personnel, this training exercise involved Cal OES, FBI leads & field technicians, hazmat responds teams, National Guard CST units, SWAT, EOD “Bomb Squads”, additional local law enforcement and a variety of response specialists and support agencies.
Special thanks to our event sponsors who provided all the food and beverages allowing these event to continue!
On Day-2 the planning was put into action with this years focused FTX that included operations making entry into a clandestine laboratory with render stable operations and evidence recovery in full response gear. This allowed for hands-on training with equipment, gear and technologies offered by the event sponsors.
For Public Information Officers, Public Affairs Officers, and Media Representatives during the FTX search warrant planning phase there was a break-out session to discuss JIC set-up and briefing(s).
