Commodities Distribution Exercise

As part of a series of exercises statewide, representatives from a handful of Southern California agencies converged on March Air Reserve Base to discuss how commodities might be distributed following a major disaster. Emeregency Managers were also given the opportunity to see a CH47 Chinook helicopter. Such aircraft could prove extremely helpful in moving commodities at times when normal modes of travel are unavailable or difficult. The aircrew discussed special considerations for packaging materials to be transported on the CH47.
