CAUSE V will be conducted along the Washington-British Columbia border.\r\n\r\nThe CAUSE exercises are a collaboration between the US Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology (S&amp;T) Directorate and Defence Research and Development Canada Centre for Security Science.\r\n\r\nThe disaster driving the scenario for the CAUSE V exercise is that a volcanic explosion and crater collapse has occurred on Mount Baker, located 37 miles (60 kilometers) inland and less than 15 miles (25 kilometers) south of the US-Canada border.\r\n\r\nThis scenario spans several months in the second half of 2017. During that time, Mount Baker has been the site of increased volcanic and seismic activity and has emitted steam and ash. A mid-November eruption causes an initial collapse of Sherman Crater, located near the mountain\u2019s summit.\r\n\r\nThe initial collapse sends a volcanic debris flow, or lahar, down the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River to Puget Sound and northward along the Sumas River into Canada. A second eastern collapse generates multiple lahar flows down the east flank of Mount Baker, into the Baker and Skagit River system.\r\n\r\nCAUSE V will evaluate the communication, hazard monitoring, and emergency warning systems, including the interagency coordination and public notification associated with this event. It will test response and recovery activities by local, state, provincial, and federal providers.\r\n\r\nThe experiment emphasizes cross-border communication and coordination. Observers in the United States will include the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the FirstNet communications group, and US Northern Command."}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This
