This year’s training, which involved more than 450 participants, centered around a simulated 6.4 magnitude earthquake along the Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon Fault, which runs down the coast from Los Angeles to San Digeo. The exercise also involved a cyber attack, along with multiple other simulated crises.

In the scenario, Verizon was asked by the Department of Defense to prioritize restoring network connectivity across the impacted area. Exercise participants also worked through solutions to ensure the availability of diesel fuel for cellular macro site generators.

The Verizon Frontline team also showcased some of Verizon’s nearly 600 deployable assets during the exercise to highlight Verizon’s response capabilities. Verizon Frontline’s Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response (THOR) platform demonstrated its ability to establish a network connection in austere environments. One of the Verizon Frontline Innovation Program’s Robotic Emergency Dogs (RED) was also featured during the exercise.

Verizon Frontline is an advanced cellular data and voice network built for first responders.
