Behind the scenes of preparedness. Grateful for strong partnerships and shared commitment to keeping our community safe.

We put our plans into action. Preparing to welcome the world for the 2026 FIFA World Cup means preparing for anything. Operation Lasso III brought together agencies across South Florida to test how we respond to complex, multi-site emergencies under real-world conditions. These scenarios are challenging by design. They push our ability to coordinate across counties, establish unified command, and operate as one team during the most critical moments. From managing large-scale response efforts to supporting families, reunifying loved ones, and providing behavioral health care, this exercise strengthens how we protect and serve our community when it matters most. Behind every major event is a commitment to your safety. This is what preparedness looks like.
