Scenes from simulated “Shaken Fury” exercises, centered around a situation involving response to a 7.7 magnitude earthquake, Tuesday, June 4, 2019, in Cape Girardeau. The exercises included members of Missouri Task Force One, an urban search-and-rescue team, and local first responders who retrieved live participants and prop dummies from the simulated “structural collapse” of a building which was prepared in advance for the exercise.
