Conduct Training and Exercises

Prepare > Conduct Training and Exercises

Training provides individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools to prepare for, respond to and recover from a severe storm.

Exercises test the validity of policies, plans, procedures, and protocols in a low stress, risk-free environment. Aside from actual events, they provide the best means of evaluating an organization’s capabilities.

The Texas Engineering Extension Service can provide facilitated exercises for all types of organizations. TEEX will work with you to identify clear and attainable objectives and develop realistic, hands-on, scenario-driven exercises to help your organization prepare for the next disaster.
