Shaken but not Stirred at NMRTU Bangor
Navy Medicine Readiness Training Unit Bangor staff rapidly responded to a [mock] earthquake, Oct. 17, 2024. The exercise scenario – held in conjunction with Commander Naval Installations Command Citadel Rumble and Operation Dynamo 2024 – provided the opportunity for the branch health clinic to test a handful of objectives which are considered crucial during any actual seismic event. Clinic personnel were able to effectively test their collective capability to drop, cover and hold; evacuated all personnel, achieve 100 percent accountability of all those evacuated; provide triage to injured appropriately, and readily exchange timely communication with each other throughout the drill (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
