We ran simulations, we conducted trainings, all culminating in a trip out to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where FEMA was headquartered. For their simulations, we practice these scenarios and this operation has been led by Director Sayre. I'm really proud of [Director Sayre and her team's] work and I think it sets an example for other cities to follow throughout the country. Director. Thank you, Mayor Fry. Operation Metro Surge has created what aid workers call a protection crisis. A human driven, large scale event marked by violence and human rights violations that affect individuals freedom and rights to access basic services. (08:13–08:22)
