CUEA participated in a statewide hazardous materials incident exercise that served as an opportunity to test California’s evolving emergency coordination and State Operations Center activation processes.
The exercise brought together emergency management partners to evaluate communication pathways, coordination procedures, and situational awareness processes during a simulated incident.
Participation in exercises such as these helps CUEA better understand state coordination structures while providing utility-sector perspectives that improve planning and operational readiness.
Exercises remain a critical component of preparedness efforts, allowing agencies and utilities to identify opportunities for improvement before real-world incidents occur.
