June 2023 Community Emergency Response Exercise
“The scale of this exercise, including all potential responding agencies, was invaluable in learning each other’s processes and getting to know the people who will be at the table when responding to a real-world event.”
“The planning and execution for this exercise is the best I have seen in my 30+ years as a first responder.”
“We started with ‘call the 24 hour hotline’ and ended with ‘here is my personal cell phone #, call me anytime 24/7.”
“My highlight - seeing the first responders taking the exercise so seriously, actively taking notes and looking for opportunities to improve.”
“I loved seeing Hero ‘The Chaplain Dog’ walking around visiting with people.”
“So great to see people coming together as a community for the safety of children.”
“I loved bringing my kids and having them be part of the exercise.”
“I appreciated the immense amount of inter-agency coordination that occurred during the event.”
“This was the best interagency training I have been a part of in my career, additional training outcomes have come from it already, resources - trauma kits, a disaster trailer, etc.”
