President Obama has an earthquake drill on his schedule this afternoon.
After visiting a small business in suburban Maryland — where he’ll “announce a package of initiatives that will increase credit to small businesses” — Obama will “attend a Cabinet-level exercise at the Department of Treasury which will focus on the immediate aftermath of a fictitious catastrophic earthquake in the United States.”
The exercise will examine the federal incident management policies and practices for the response to and immediate recovery from an incident of this magnitude.
The drill is closed to the press, so chances are we won’t be able to tell you how it goes.
