Exercise Program Information

The goal of IEMA's Exercise Program is to improve the overall readiness and targeted capabilities of emergency response by validating training, emergency plans and procedures to reveal strengths and weaknesses, demonstrate operational capabilities, and to prepare personnel for real world events.  This readiness is implemented through a building block process of seminars, workshops, tabletops, games, drills, functional and full scale exercises which are defined by the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP).
