PREFACE The State Emergency Operation Center (EOC) exercise program management is the process of overseeing and integrating a variety of training and exercises over time. An effective program helps our organization maximize efficiency, resources, time, and funding by ensuring that trainings and exercises are part of a coordinated, integrated approach to building, sustaining, and delivering a foundation that support core capabilities. Through effective exercise program management, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) EOC exercise program will accomplish the following priorities: Priorities include: •

Provide a center for excellence in preparedness and create a culture for continuous improvement.

•

Build capacity and foster relationships with the Emergency Response Coordinators (ERCs) to staff ESF/RSF positions.

•

Implement the Division Mission.

•

Establish State EOC positions and develop a State EOC position training plan.

•

PURPOSE The purpose of the Rolling Summary Report (RSR) is to provide a periodic analysis of a series of exercises and training for State EOC stakeholders, such as those covered in a Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan. The RSR is designed to report on the progress of the program.

OVERVIEW In February 2016, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) reestablished their Exercise program management within the State EOC. The Operations Section develops and maintains emergency operation procedures for Colorado’s EOC and is responsible for continuous improvement processes. Exercise program management involves a collaborative approach that integrates resources, organizations, and individuals in order to identify and achieve program priorities. Through the management of training and exercise programs, stakeholders provide oversight to specific training and exercise activities sustained over time.

PATH FORWARD A comprehensive State EOC Training and Exercise Plan is under development. The planned stakeholder Training and Exercise Planning Workshop provides the opportunity to coordinate all training and exercise activities sponsored by DHSEM’s EOC and coordinated with the State Preparedness Report.
