During this exercise, we will simulate a large-scale flood scenario, challenging participants to assess and activate their Emergency Operations Plans — including water supply, communications, evacuation, continuity of operations (COOP), and recovery. With realistic injects and facilitated discussion, you’ll walk through the key decisions that leaders and staff face when lives, property, and community health are on the line.
