Planning and Preparedness Equals Performance
The Alaska Chadux Network regularly assists its members in planning and preparing for response activities. Through contingency plan review, site and equipment inspections, training and exercises, and other consultation, ACN can help vessel and facility personnel understand their responsibilities during a pollution incident.

Exercises
Alaska Chadux Network (ACN) exercises its response equipment and contractors regularly to ensure response readiness. These exercises are conducted and documented in accordance with the Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP). Three hubs are fully exercised every year, and the equipment in each ACN hub is inspected and serviced every year.
Our client companies and local response organizations are invited to inquire about participating in these exercises. ACN can also assist subscriber companies in planning, conducting, evaluating, and documenting their own exercises.
