Oregon Live – by Stuart Tomlinson
As preparedness drills go, the 3-day PACE (Portland Area Capabilities Exercise) Setter bioterrorism exercise that starts Tuesday is big. The exercise–which simulates a terrorist attack involving a biological weapon–will unfold across 50 different venues and some 65 jurisdictions from Gresham to Tigard.
Officials say it’s the largest such exercise undertaken since 2007, when a drill known as TOPOFF tested a simulated response to a dirty bomb explosion in Portland.
“Exercises such as this are critical to identifying strengths and weaknesses in our response capabilities and to understanding the complexities of multi-state, multi-agency incident response operations,” said Scott Porter, director of Washington County Emergency Management and co-chair of the exercise process.
The exercise is designed to test the region’s plans, operations, policies and response to a widespread, complex public health emergency.
The purpose of the exercise is to test the region’s ability to respond to a complex public health incident affecting multiple agencies across several political boundaries. The exercise will address policy, plans and operations related to bioterrorism incident mobilization and response.
The imagined scenarios will play out at seven main locations, organizers said, on Wednesday and Thursday; Tuesday is reserved for planning and set-up.
But please note: These events are not designed to be visible to the public, but will be open for media coverage.
–Camp Withycombe in Clackamas: First responders will triage, decontaminate and treat patients at a simulated mass casualty incident. In addition to ground ambulances, LifeFlight helicopters will land at the camp.
—Portland Basic Earthquake Emergency Communication Node or BEECN, where volunteers will set up a tent and radio equipment at one of Portland’s 48 BEECN sites. http://www.portlandoregon.gov/pbem/article/423717
–Washington County Emergency Operations Center: A behind the scenes look at the how the county organizes the region’s response.
–Gresham Medical Care Point: More than 100 high school students will participate, presenting various symptoms to first responders. Thirty victims will be evacuated to hospitals for decontamination by medical personnel. Two students will make the trip via LifeFlight helicopter.
–Tigard POD, or Point of Dispensing: Volunteers will distribute mock medical countermeasures to participants.
–Fort Vancouver. Police and fire teams will remove simulated victims for triage
and treatment.
–Kellogg Middle School in Portland. Similar to plans for Fort Vancouver. ¶
“We want to make sure if and when this happens we are prepared as possible, said Kama Simonds, spokeswoman for the Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization. “It’s not an exam with a grade, it’s an opportunity to see where we can improve.”
At the same time, Southwest Washington emergency managers and first responders will also conduct a drill, this one known as WASABE (Washington State Annual Bioterrorism Exercise.)
This too will be a full-scale exercise involving local and state public health, emergency managers, hospitals, law enforcement and the Region IV Medical Reserve Corps. The Fort Vancouver event is not part of WASABE.

I wouldn’t go to Portland on any of those days. This is a false flag waiting to happen.
What I don’t understand is if they want us so dead why have drills, oh yeah to hide their treachery, stupid me.
Yeah,…
So this is what the FBI/CIA/Mossad are planning to unleash on Americans next.
Thanks for the tip-off FBI.
JD – US Marines – They are clearly telling us what they (The US Fed Gpov’t and its criminal agencies) are planning on….
Don’t forget the Jamboree Scouts thing in West Virginia in July!
That seems like the perfect place for the elite to do their Bio-terrorism false flag event that they have been waiting for. It definitely looks like the CDC will be involved in the next event, which will also likely involve our children as victims and patriots and probably Iranian as terrorists. And don’t forget, Biologists and Chemists and college students in those fields in America will be labeled as domestic terrorists.
More government bullshit to spew to the sheeple.
Everyone remember this date July 20th, 2013. This is around the time when they will release a biological weapon at the National Boy Scout Jamboree at the Summit BECHTEL!!!! Reserve in West Virginia July 15-July 24. This is the end in my opinion folks, the end of America, and I pray to God I’m wrong. This is the first time it has been moved to a new location in 30 years. They will use the outbreak of a bio weapon blamed on some sort of terrorist group associated with a certain “enemy” country that needs to be taken out to declare Martial Law and further the American Empire (NWO). Those of you who are informed know that Bechtel is one of the most powerful corporations in the world and is one of the major engineers of the American Empire. Inform as many people as you can about this because I only wish I was joking. Peace and love to all of you and if this happens good luck to all of you and your families. This is real people.
Damn! You beat me to it, Chris. But yea, God protect them all that are there at the event.
Ya know the smart thing to do is for the Scoutmaster to secretly change the location at the last minute, and leave the information with the parents he can trust. As long as nobody uses the phones, or gets tracked by GPS, satellite, or physical tail, how would the false flag op’s even know where they were? Feel free to pass this idea on.
WHAT? How would 10,000 scoutmasters keep a secret like that? This is not you local church’s boy scout troop, it’s troops from all over the country.
Remember this,
Three can keep a secret if two are dead.
Hell’s Angels, right rhumstruck?
Simulated bioterrorism is the least of their problems.
Let ’em eat radioactive isotopes!
Think logistics Multi, there will be thousands of scouts there. How does one secretly move thousands of young men? You need prepositioned supplies to hold an event like this. Your heart is in the right place. But I’m not sure it’s practical. But if these evil animals intend to hurt these kids they will find them no matter where they are. Has that what our country has come to? We must sneak and hide our children? Have they got us THAT scared? I suggest organized, vigilent fathers. Perhaps volunteers too? I’ve read there will be National Guard on hand and tight security. That’s what Boston had isn’t it? But to me…a thousand organized, watchful fathers…man, that’s a lot of eyes right? and a thousand men willing, ready and able to defend their sons may, I stress MAY…give someone cause to stand down.
“Three day metro-wide disaster drill will simulate bioterrorism attack”.
I think they accidentaly left the other t out of simulate.
