“It’s our mission at Universal Services to ensure we help keep the IT and fleet operations running during any disaster to ensure the continuity of services in the time of need,” said James Henderson, HCUS chief of staff and deputy executive director.
HCUS Interim executive director Rick Noriega added that the drills are used by the military to prepare for critical missions and emergency operations.
