The island will undergo a mass casualty airport disaster this weekend, but fortunately it's just an exercise. Guam Homeland Security and the Office of Civil Defense in coordination with the Department of Defense Joint Task Force will be hosting the 3 day event at the Hyatt Hotel, Tumon in an effort to improve response procedures and techniques.

According to Homeland Security officials, the discussion based exercise will focus on the operational roles and responsibilities of each participating organization while highlighting the challenges associated with management of these types of responses.
