Sherry Adams, right, North Dakota state health officer and Southwestern District Health Unit executive officer, provides feedback through Richard Obilale, left, a translator, at the completion of a tabletop exercise during Operation Lignite Coast 2026 in Lome, Togo, June 11, 2026. Obilale is translating Adams’ comments to the teams consisting of members of Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency, who have just completed briefings on how they would resolve various notional incidents. Building on course content, those scenarios will be also relevant during a practical exercise to follow in the next week.
