Region XTraining & Exercise Quarterly CompendiumOctober 2013
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region X Training & Exercise Quarterly Compendium (TEQC) is published on a quarterly basis and contains basic information about regionally significant training and exercise events occurring in the next three (3) years.
As a companion to the Multi-Year Training & Exercise Plan (MYTEP), TEQC is updated to coincide with quarterly meetings of the Regional Interagency Steering Committee (RISC) Training and Exercise Subcommittee which meets to increase emergency management capabilities, regional preparedness, and to sustain operational readiness through the design and conduct of various training and joint exercises as part of the Plan-Train-Equip-Exercise preparedness cycle.
This edition includes events occurring between October 2013-December 2016. The next edition will be published in January 2014 and a call for updates will be distributed in mid November 2013.
A regionally significant training or exercise event includes but is not limited to the following types of events; • training which is open for enrollment by outside
agencies, • exercises in need of evaluators or controllers, • exercises open to observers, • multi-jurisdictional training and exercises, • regional training and exercises, • and training and exercises which an agency would
like other regional partners to be aware of.
For more information about the Region X Training & Exercise Quarterly Compendium please contact Adina M. Pease [email protected] or at (425) 487-4672.
