Franklin County Emergency Management “Lunch and Learn” Exercise

Franklin County Emergency Management

“Lunch and Learn” Exercise

March 10, 2015

10a – 2p

The “Lunch and Learn” exercise is designed to update and re-familiarize local departments, agencies and organizations with their roles and responsibilities in emergency situations.   The exercise will focus on the activities that take place prior to a disaster event, during a disaster and post disaster.  It will be a full activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).  The event will be simulated over several weeks, but will be condensed into a four hour period for the “day of play”.

Topics will include the legal authorities and responsibilities for federal, state and local disaster programs and agencies, roles and responsibilities of agencies and organization under the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, resources and personnel that are available to respond and the specialized training and equipment needed to ensure effective action and community safety.

The exercise format provides a low stress learning environment and will be presented in an open forum to encourage participation, questions and answers and learning from the experiences of the audience and presenters. 

Please mark your calendars for this important exercise and bring your ideas to share with your community partners.
