National Exercise Schedule

Thousands of emergency preparedness exercises are conducted each year in the United States, most of them at the local government level. Many of these exercises, however, are intergovernmental and often require the collective participation of Federal, State, and local personnel, and the use of material resources. In order to facilitate the interagency coordination required to design, develop, conduct, and evaluate these intergovernmental exercises successfully, the Federal Emergency Management Agency publishes the National Exercise Schedule.

The National Exercise Schedule provides basic information: exercise name, location, date, sponsor, major participants, and points-of-contact, for exercises requiring the involvement of one or more federal departments or agencies. It is published to serve as a management tool and reference document for exercise planning and budgeting. The Schedule covers a period of 36 months and is updated periodically.
