About

FEMA released guidelines post-COVID-19 to ensure safety during in-person exercises. The guide covers pre-exercise, conduct, and post-exercise phases. Pre-exercise activities include safety and security measures, venue access considerations, and health protocols like health screenings and safety documentation. During exercise conduct, safety words are designated for emergencies, health screenings are conducted, and safety protocols like social distancing are enforced. Real-world incident considerations involve researching weather trends, providing emergency response information, and having medical assistance on standby. Post-exercise activities include feedback collection, venue checks, and thorough disinfection.
