The biggest terror response exercise in California's history is underway this morning. Golden Guardian 2005 includes more than 2,500 police, firefighters and other first responders and is simulating a terror attack on some well-known local landmarks.
One example is Sacramento's Tower Bridge which will be closed from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. today. The Port of Sacramento may see some simulated explosions, as may the Roseville rail yards, and the K Street Mall, where an improvised explosive device or IED will be simulated.
The drill will be like a military simulation in some ways, testing command and control, communications, dealing with multiple threats and changing circumstances on a minute-by-minute basis. It will include many county hospitals around the state and a simulated chemical attack that will test that part of the state's emergency response system.
