Emergency
Management Institute Offers Flood Virtual Tabletop Exercise
FEMA’s Emergency
Management Institute (EMI) Virtual Tabletop Exercise (VTTX) program will offer
a flood scenario May 24-25, 2017. The VTTX is designed to help emergency
management professionals exercise their response to the impact of major
flooding on their community. The VTTX involves key personnel discussing
simulated scenarios in an informal setting, and can be used to assess plans,
policies, training, and procedures during a flood and inundation challenge.
Each month, EMI conducts a
VTTX series using a Video Teleconference (VTC) platform to reach
community-based training audiences around the country by providing a virtual
forum for interactive disaster training. The VTTX is designed for a group
of ten or more representatives from state, local, tribal, and territorial
emergency management communities of practice. It provides a unique opportunity
for responders across the nation to simultaneously participate in a
hazard-specific, facilitated discussion. Participants will need to connect via
a site equipped with the appropriate VTC capability (not Adobe Connect or Face
Time-based), but alternate ways to participate are also available upon request.
