Event Details
FEMA's National Exercise Program provides state, local, Tribal Nation and territorial jurisdictions with no-cost technical assistance for exercises designed to enhance preparedness and response capabilities. Exercise support is tailored to meet each jurisdiction's needs and assist with exercise planning, design, scenario development, conduct and evaluation. By participating in these exercises, jurisdictions can identify gaps in their emergency plans, improve coordination among responders and enhance community resilience.
The 2025 exercise support requests can be submitted through March 3. Support requests are open to all state, local, Tribal Nations and territorial governments. New applicants are strongly encouraged to apply, especially those from underserved jurisdictions. There is no associated cost share for selected jurisdictions for this exercise assistance.
All webinars will provide the same content. To attend the webinar or office hours, register (free) in advance.
