Urban Shield is a one of a kind training event intended to bring the components of the National Response Plan to life in an urban setting. The National Incident Management System will be utilized to coordinate a large scale exercise with over 20 training venues that include actual or simulated Tier 1 Critical Infrastructure Sites.
An Incident Command System structure, with Area Commands, will manage the many training sites in a large geographic area throughout Alameda County. A Unified Command will be utilized in training events requiring multi-discipline responses. Interoperable communication systems will be activated to evaluate and test the various components during this event.
Urban Shield will incorporate key elements of real-world emergencies and major critical incidents. This 50+ hour continuous training exercise will test your team’s leadership and problem solving skills. This training will incorporate some levels of stress, anxiety and physical exhaustion designed to simulate a sustained response.
