Quarterly Exercises
• October 23 – Winter Storm/Flood Preparation, Training, Rehearsal• February 12 – Earthquake, Building Toward Evergreen Quake 2016• May 21 – Wildfire Preparation• August 13 – Pandemic
Let’s start by just exercising, training, and rehearsing at the same time. It gives all of us the option of interacting and synchronizing. Small exercises with tangible outcomes are good!
The goal is to eventually conduct statewide exercises designed to prepare us for response and recovery. Coordinate with FEMA, DHS, NORTHCOM, 3rd Fleet, etc. to use the same dates.
