CISA, local partners conduct tabletop exercise for the U.S. Olympic Team Track and Field trials
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), private sector partners, local first responders, and state and federal partners held a tabletop exercise to test emergency response and recovery operations in preparation for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field, which will be held June 18-27 at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus.
The exercise scenario focused on preparing private and public sector response and recovery plans for two simultaneous events: a civil unrest activity followed by an active threat event during the Olympic Trials in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon. The virtual event allowed CISA and partners to review pre-incident information sharing and incident response protocols, as well as immediate and short-term recovery operations. The exercise fostered relationships between private sector partners and federal, state, and local governments and allowed them to collaborate on and share best practices and procedures.
