Today Miami-Dade RACES participated in Operation Lasso. The Operation was held in preparation of the upcoming World Cup and FiFa games. RACES provided on-site radio cache management to participants of the exercise. Additionally RACES provided offsite auxiliary communications from the radio room at the Miami-Dade EOC. This dual approach ensures the flow of communications even if there is a infrastructure failure.
