Deployment Exercise

 

Citywide Deployment Exercises

Twice each year, Portland NET teams participate in a Citywide Deployment Exercise (CDE). This helps us improve our skills, make important revisions to our Operations & Communications Plans, and inform our training plans.

The most recent Citywide Deployment was held on Saturday, April 27, 2024. See below for after action reports from this and previous exercises. The next exercise will be held during the evening of Wednesday, October 30, 2024 from 6 to 9 pm.  Click here to register as individual for this exercise.  If you don’t find your team listed, feel free to choose another team.

These exercises were created and orchestrated by NET volunteers. If you have questions or suggestions, or if you’d like to be part of the next planning committee, email NETDeploymentExercise@gmail.com.

CHEAT SHEETS

Sometimes our brains get a little mushy when we’re presented with a high-stress situation (like a major earthquake). Keep these handy cheat sheets in your pack to help you remember your training!

OTHER RESOURCES

Here are some other tools your team may find useful in planning and preparing for the exercise:

  • PBEM GIS Mapping Tool – This interactive map shows neighborhood boundaries, schools, hospitals, URM buildings, and hazards and may be useful for planning training scenarios. You’ll need to zoom in to see details.
