Verizon Undergoes Disaster Response Training Alongside US Military
Verizon Response Teams joined the U.S. Air Force, the Mississippi National Guard and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency in PATRIOT 24, a training exercise meant to prepare participants to carry out rapid response work following natural disasters. During the exercise, participants trained for a variety of tasks, including search and rescue, chemical and radiological response and major debris removal, which were practiced amid multiple realistic crisis scenarios, like a hurricane-damaged hospital suffering from communication failure and a tornado-induced nuclear radiation leak, Verizon said Thursday.
