First responders and officials from more than 40 agencies are practicing their response to a complex, coordinated terrorist attack in San Diego.
The Coastal Warrior exercise is taking place over two days at multiple locations throughout the region. It is the largest full-scale exercise ever conducted in San Diego County.
Today’s drills focused on decontaminating victims of a dirty bomb, active shooter scenarios and hostage situations. The exercise is designed to strengthen the region’s first responder partnerships.
