The exercise, spearheaded by Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), will be conducted at bases within Navy Region Southwest and Navy Region Northwest, Aug. 7-10.

The installations, along with their tenant commands, will test various procedures, including damage assessment, evacuation plans, disaster preparedness, recovery and consequence management plans, and accounting for Sailors and Navy families in the affected regions through the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS).

In addition, the exercise will further enhance the Navy's readiness to deploy forces even under the most adverse conditions.
