The Presidio of Monterey will conduct an emergency preparedness exercise from April 21-23, 2026. 

This training event will involve local community partners and evaluate the installation’s response to an emergency event within the fenceline of Presidio of Monterey, at the La Mesa Housing Area or the Ord Military Community. During this time, you may see increased traffic by law enforcement or emergency vehicles, to include lights and sirens, temporary gate closures, use of the public emergency alert speakers, role-players acting as casualties, large movements of service members or other activity that may appear uncommon. 

This is not cause for alarm, but should you have any questions regarding the activity, please contact the Presidio of Monterey Public Affairs office at (831) 242-5555, or the Police Non-Emergency Line at (831) 242-7851.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to strengthen emergency response coordination with municipal and county partners.
