Exercises

Exercises allow emergency management personnel, from first responders to senior officials, to train and practice prevention, protection, response and recovery capabilities in a realistic but risk-free environment. Exercises are also a valuable tool for assessing and improving performance, allowing for lessons to be learned and identifying best practices.

The Division of Public Health works closely with the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and state, local and non-governmental partners in all of its exercises. Follow this link to view the Division of Public Health exercise calendar .
