After the instruments have been checked and calibrated, the teams deploy to the monitoring sites. ISB monitoring operations may be done in different environments. Usually the monitoring will take place at sensitive locations, such as population centers, where deployment may be done by vehicle. Other times, the teams may deploy to the monitoring sites by boat or helicopter.

In the photo shown below, a SMART team deploys to its monitoring site by boat. This photo was taken during a test burn monitoring exercise in Mobile, Alabama in 1998.
