This event is provided at no charge
Program Rationale:
As part of our Virtual Tabletop Exercise (VTTX) series, BICEPP will be facilitating a FEMA HazMat scenario, exploring the challenges faced with a fuel vehicle incident. The program focusses on how an organization(s) response can mitigate and the effect this scenario can have on your business or neighborhood. The VTTX involves key personnel discussing simulated scenarios in an informal setting. This scenario can be used to assess plans, policies, training, and procedures. An incident like this can cause a variety of challenges to business locations, even if it doesn’t occur directly on your property, including extended roadway disruptions, fumes, and material flow onto your property.
Exercise Goals:
This virtual exercise will enable the participants to apply the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to effectively respond to emergency management incidents of varying complexity.
Overall objectives include:
- Improve an organization’s resiliency and response to natural and human caused disasters.
- Build on each participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively conduct all-hazards emergency response.
- Allow participating locations to share preparation, response, and recovery solutions with all participants.
- Enable participants to better coordinate response operations with counterparts from Federal agencies, State governments, local governments, private sector organizations, and nongovernmental agencies.
