How will participation in TOPOFF 4 affect Oregon’s preparedness?
The exercise will enable state and local agencies to identify and correct deficiencies in communications, equipment, interagency cooperation and procedures needed to handle emergencies of all kinds, including terrorist attacks and natural disasters, such as killer storms, earthquakes and fires, as well as failures of critical infrastructure (e.g., the collapse of a bridge). The exercise will enable state and local governments to plan improvements in their respective capabilities in emergency response.
