"Our partnership that we have with the Oregon National Guard, specifically the 102nd Civil Support Team, they've been supporting us for the past five U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials held in Eugene. It prepares the teams to provide critical support for major events that could be potential targets, like the U.S. The training ensures that Oregon has "one of the best functioning Joint Hazard Assessment Teams in the nation," according to McCree. "We want to make sure that we train them so when they're making decisions, they're making the right decisions." "It only reinforces our capabilities of working together, strengthening our partnership and developing our friendship with all these different agencies," said San Miguel. Damian San Miguel, commander of the Eugene Police Department's bomb squad, emphasized the importance of the annual J-HAT training in building relationships and capabilities between the agencies. "So today, we're just getting them reacquainted and working on targets." As you can imagine, they all have jobs and responsibilities outside of the city," said McCree. "Trying to get all those people together and working simultaneously on the same target is really difficult.
Robert McCree of the 102nd explained that the training focused on simulated scenarios involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats and other hazardous incidents requiring a coordinated, multi-agency response. The annual event called a Joint Hazard Assessment Team (J-HAT) training, involved members from the Oregon National Guard's 102nd Civil Support Team, Eugene Police Department, Eugene Fire Department, Federal Protective Service and other partner organizations.ġst Sgt. 16, various local, state, and federal agencies came together for a joint hazard training exercise to enhance emergency preparedness in Eugene and surrounding communities. 230816-Z-ZJ128-1006 Joint Hazard Training Strengthens Emergency Response in Eugene (Photo) - 08/18/23ĮUGENE, Ore.
