Under the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger and direction of his Office of Homeland Security, the nation’s largest state sponsored emergency exercise will take place November 13-18. Golden Guardian 2008 tests California’s capability to respond and recover during a major catastrophic earthquake. The Golden Guardian 2008 full scale exercise scenario focuses on a simulated, catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake along the southern portion of the San Andreas Fault.

• Counties, Cities and Special Districts
• State Operations Center will be activated with State Agencies participating.
• More than 5,000 participants from dozens of local, state, and federal agencies, including the U.S. Military and private organizations.
