The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Academic Engagement (OAE) released three Exercise Starter Kits for the academic community as part of the Campus Resilience (CR) Program. The CR Program’s Exercise Starter Kits are self-conducted tabletop exercises (TTX) designed for institutions of higher education (IHE). The Exercise Starter Kit provide IHEs with a set of scalable tools and documents to develop a TTX that can be tailored to match pressing threats and hazards, while validating specific emergency plans, protocols, and procedures. The Exercise Starter Kits are complementary to the CR Program’s TTX series, which offers the NTTX, RTTX, and LTTX events annually. The Exercise Starter Kits allow an IHE’s campus law enforcement, emergency management staff, and leadership to continually test and strengthen current emergency preparedness plans outside of an in-person TTX Series event.
Exercise Starter Kits scenarios currently focus on cyber breaches, hurricanes, and active shooter incidents. Each Exercise Starter Kit includes a set of planning documents that contain pre-populated exercise content. For more information on the CR Program’s Exercise Starter Kits, read the Exercise Starter Kit one-pager. To obtain an Exercise Starter Kit, please fill out this survey.
