Coast Guard and Clallum Fire Rescue personnel work together to assess simulated medical injuries on patients during a joint agency mass rescue exercise in Port Angeles, Wash., Sept. 27, 2016, after a ferry with 499 passengers aboard struck a submerged object. The joint exercise is designed to better understand each agency's capabilities and concerns during a maritime event which will test emergency procedures, search and rescue coordination, accountability of passenger and crew, medical surge operations and activation of the disaster medical emergency mass casualty plan.
