CSC GROUPPROJECTS | JANUARY EDITION
Using Exercises to Evaluate Your Emergency Plans
Gene Komondor, CEM, MEP
The primary uses for an exercise are to validate plans and evaluate training. In this interactive session you’ll discuss how to design an exercise to accomplish these purposes. FEMA-certified Master Exercise Practitioner Gene Komondor has designed, conducted and evaluated discussion and operations-based exercises throughout the country.
This Campus Safety Group Project will focus on developing the objectives you’ll need to effectively evaluate your school’s Emergency Plan in an exercise. You will have the opportunity to write and submit objectives and receive feedback from the other participants during the session.
Please consider reviewing your emergency plan prior to the GroupProject to identify any specific content that you might wish to evaluate. It is strongly recommended that you have your emergency plan accessible during the session.
Bring your questions, express your concerns, share your experience, and take time to connect with your peers during these small, one-hour GroupProject sessions!
Be ready to share and participate in this “GroupProject” discussion!
