The exercise involved a wide range of agencies, including local, state, and federal entities, demonstrating the importance of coordinated response efforts. SFO’s Boeing 767 wide-body training aircraft was utilized with volunteers onboard, allowing first responders to practice triage and transportation procedures. Additionally, SFO deployed its $1.7M Mobile Command Post vehicle, providing incident commanders with a portable platform for leadership, direction, and communication during response operations.
Airport Director Ivar C. Satero emphasized the significance of continuous improvement in emergency response capabilities, with the annual full-scale emergency exercise serving as a crucial component of ongoing training. He expressed gratitude for the participation of numerous agencies in preparing for a coordinated response to any emergency incident at SFO.
