MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – In preparation for a major earthquake striking the Bay Area, emergency response teams at NASA Ames Research Center underwent two days of disaster response training this week.

Conducted Nov. 5-6, 2008, the Great Worden Quake II emergency exercise featured several events designed to train and sharpen the skills of the center's emergency and disaster assistance responders. In addition, the drill also provided an opportunity for the entire center workforce to participate and become familiar with specific procedures they would need to follow in the event of a major earthquake.
