DHSES – OEM Exercises

The NYS-OEM Exercise Staff is available to help assist with, and support development of, local preparedness and response exercise programs.

Training and exercises are vital components to providing emergency response agencies, non-governmental agencies, and community partners with the opportunity to improve both public safety and preparedness capabilities. A comprehensive training and exercise program is designed to improve operational readiness, reveal opportunities for improvement, and to illuminate resource gaps. A comprehensive training and exercise program is designed to improve interagency coordination and collaboration, clarify roles and responsibilities, enhance individual performance, and gain public recognition of preparedness and emergency response programs.

The primary focus of NYSOEM's Exercise Program is to assist local, county, State, and federal government agencies, along with private sector and not-for-profit entities, in the development, planning, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning components and activities associated with the priorities identified in the State's Annual Training and Exercise Plan. The Exercise Program follows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) methodology outlined in the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP is a capabilities-based exercise methodology designed to build a self-sustaining exercise program and to provide standards for designing, developing, conducting, and evaluating exercises of all types and scope.

The HSEEP methodology provides different exercise types for both discussion and operations based objectives, which can aide a jurisdiction in examining plans, capabilities, and identifying gaps. There are seven different types of exercises; the three most common types are:

Evaluations tied to all types of exercises provide jurisdictions and exercise participants with the mechanism to utilize task-specific and performance-based criteria, which will be used to identify corrective actions and develop an improvement plan for future preparedness efforts and funding requests.

A comprehensive all-hazard exercise program begins with planning and training, continues with the exercise itself, and culminates with evaluation and the creation of an exercise After-Action Report / Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) of all activities that occurred during the process. The AAR/IP examines lessons learned during the exercise and transforms them into corrective actions.
