FEMA releases new Exercise Starter Kits, including Reunification Support

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) National Exercise Division (NED) has developed ten new Exercise Starter Kits to support exercise practitioners and emergency managers at all levels of government, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations as they plan, conduct, and evaluate their exercises. The ten kits cover the following topics:

  • Reunification.
  • Community Preparedness and Response to the Opioid Crisis.
  • Complex Incident Coordination.
  • Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.
  • Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience.
  • Large-Scale Population Movement and Resettlement.
  • Mitigating Social Isolation and Loneliness.
  • Recovery.
  • Alert and Warning (IPAWS) ESK.
  • Large-Scale Events.

The Reunification Exercise Starter Kit (ESK) contains a sample exercise facilitator and evaluator guide, sample conduct slides, a sample situation manual and a customizable placemat.

Other Exercise Starter Kits are available in the Emergency Management Toolkit section of FEMA’s Preparedness Toolkit.

A recorded version of a past webinar is available on the Preparedness Toolkit HSEEP Webinars page.
