Disaster Exercises - Taking Smaller Bites of the Elephant

Planning and executing a full exercise of your agency's disaster plan can be a big job. Consider flexing tiny pieces of the plan, more often. Suggestions:

          1) Test your ability to send a simple test message to everyone on the team and see how long it takes for them to respond.
          2) Conduct a quick "Drop, Cover and Hold" drill - making sure everyone does it correctly.
          3) Do a random call-down see if your team knows what supplies are on-site and where they are stored.
