Natural disaster response exercise Vigilant Guard to begin
WASHINGTON -- During the joint natural disaster response exercise Vigilant Guard 2017, the Georgia National Guard and guardsmen from five surrounding states will simulate a hurricane to improve collaborative efforts in the region, Pentagon press operations director Navy Capt.

More than 8,000 personnel from Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina will take part in the exercise from March 27 through April 2 in various locations around Georgia, Davis said.
The joint regional exercise is hosted by the Georgia National Guard and U.S. Northern Command, he said.
COORDINATION AT ALL LEVELS
"The purpose is to simulate a real-world natural disaster to improve collaboration efforts that help with emergency preparation, coordination response and recovery management … when we coordinate between federal, regional, local and civilian partners during domestic emergencies and catastrophic events," Davis explained.

Additional scenarios planned for the Vigilant Guard exercise include a disease outbreak, cyber attack, chemical spill, search-and-rescue efforts following a structural collapse and a medical mass casualty, Davis noted.
