Emergency Management Tabletop Exercises & AAR

What is the Emergency Management Tabletop Exercise?

The Emergency Management (EM) Tabletop Exercise is a monthly event held on the last Tuesday of each month. Each session focuses on a different emergency management topic.

Who can participate in the Tabletop Exercise?

The exercise is open to all emergency management professionals and other stakeholders involved in emergency preparedness and response in LTC facilities. It’s designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among participants.

What topics will be covered in the Tabletop Exercises?

Each month, the exercise will cover a different topic related to emergency management. Topics may include natural disaster response, pandemic preparedness, cybersecurity incidents, and more. The specific topic for each session will be announced in advance.

Will sessions include After Action Reports (AAR)?

If you're interested in an After Action Report, you can schedule a session in advance following the EM Tabletops. You must have attended 3 tabletop sessions before completing an AAR request.
