NDR technology trailers arriving in Pompano Beach, Florida
on
Thursday morning, April 29, 2004. The trailers arrived in
small, escorted
groups throughout Thursday.

The technology trailers were brought to a staging site in
Pompano
Beach on April 29, 2004. During a real response, the
equipment would be
held offsite until the recovery site was
made safe and secure.

The exercise began on Friday morning, April 30, when the
trailers
were positioned on the recovery exercise site.
The trailers are brought
onto the site following a plan
developed by NDR's incident command team.
