Blasts, sirens blazing, helicopters circling above head, mock triage centers, simulated oil spills, and over 20 emergency and law enforcement agencies descended on the Port of Hueneme today for the state’s largest security and emergency response exercise – Coastal Trident.
“The Port’s Coastal Trident exercise is aimed to sharpen the collaborative response of our emergency and security teams to potential real-world disasters. Partnering with our local, state, and federal partners in these exercises allows us to share best practices, test lines of communication, and increase our overall preparedness,” said Oxnard Harbor District President Jess Herrera. |
