Witt O'Brien's carried out a large-scale Annual Incident Management Team Tabletop Exercise (IMT TTX) on February 23-24, 2026, in San Francisco, California.
This challenging exercise will test the interaction, communication, and problem-solving between the Incident Commander, Federal, and State On-Scene Coordinators, and Incident Management Team (IMT) members, including the USCG, State Agencies, OSROs, SMFFs, the vessel operator’s representative, and other stakeholders in the critical stages of a vessel casualty.
It will also serve to satisfy annual and triennial compliance as your shoreside Incident Management Team for all federal (USCG) vessel response plans and California state vessel contingency plans.
While all are welcome to attend the exercise, in-person attendance is not required. We will continue to offer an eLearning option by mid-year, updated to highlight the exercise and share lessons learned, allowing plan holders to continue participating remotely and satisfying compliance requirements.
Registration for those planning to attend in person is available here.
Our team will also host a series of in-person Response and Regulatory Update Seminars in the following locations throughout the year. This list will be updated throughout the year as dates and locations are finalized.
