The BTI Institute conducted the full-scale capstone exercise assessing the Unified Regional Response to a Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack throughout the three-county (Hardin, Jefferson, and Orange) region of South East Texas. The day-long exercise, involving over 300 responders and volunteers, provided local leaders an opportunity to assess the capabilities, plans, policies and procedures of law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, public works, area hospitals, communications, and other emergency management assets. It focused on the decision-making, coordination, and integration of response efforts by local, regional, state, and federal agencies.
