Several Honolulu District employees spent last week training for emergency management deployments by participating in the Combined Response Mission Exercise Evergreen Quake 2012 in Tacoma, Wash. The exercise simulated an emergency response to a significant earthquake in the Seattle area. The Combined Response Mission Exercise involved Local Emergency Managers, the state of Washington, FEMA Region 10, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. USACE participants included the 249th Engineer Battalion, Emergency Power Planning and Response Teams (PRT) from both Honolulu and Walla Walla Districts and several subject matter experts and evaluators.
