The exercise focused on three core capabilities and objectives as follows:
⦁ Infrastructure Systems – Discussed continuity of operations and the need to stabilize critical functions, minimize health and safety threats, and efficiently restore and revitalize systems and services.
⦁ Public Information and Warning – Discussed the process for delivering coordinated and accurate information to the whole community.
⦁ Operational Coordination – Discussed the unified and coordinated operational structures and processes that will be implemented to support recovery efforts.
