Drills and Exercises - Under Construction

Drills are excellent opportunities for SERT member to practice, assess and improve emergency response plans and on-the-ground operations while engaging their volunteers and refreshing the concepts and skills learned in SERT training.

 

These exercises were developed according to national guidance and principles outlined by the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program. It is important that SERT programs tailor their exercises to reflect realistic events that may impact their community to practice skills they need to test or practice most.
