Emergency Management Toolkits
The Emergency Management Toolkit (EM Toolkit) section of the Preparedness Toolkit (PrepToolkit) is intended to provide information on resources that have been developed by FEMA and Federal partners to help the emergency management community at all levels of government to prepare for various threats that face the nation.
Below, emergency managers will find Exercise Starter Kits (ESKs) designed to provide a set of sample materials and templates that can be customized to create a discussion-based exercise to validate their plans and policies.
Each kit includes the following templates aligned to the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP):
- A sample facilitator/evaluator guide
- Sample conduct slides
- A sample situation manual (SITMAN)
- A sample placemat
- Sample Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEG) located within the facilitator/evaluator guide
Additional material will be added as it becomes available and/or conditions change.
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity: Strengthen coordination on cybersecurity prevention, protection, response, mitigation and recovery roles and responsibilities across all levels of government and the private sector—and between cyber/information technology professionals and those in leadership, emergency management, continuity, operations and other functions—to improve the cybersecurity capabilities of the whole community. *This link will take you to the DHS Cybersecurity Training and Exercises webpage*
