The recent training was intentionally organized with a concentration on the operations and coordination of the NU Emergency Operations Center along with its local and state-level incident response partners. A significant number of essential Norwich employees actively contributed to the event. In addition, there was substantial involvement from various local and state-level entities from across Vermont. The partner organizations in attendance during the exercise included the Vermont State Police, neighboring fire departments, numerous police departments, a range of regional EMS representatives, and local town officials.
The theoretical scenario for the tabletop exercise centered around a localized event requiring activation of multiple local emergency services, the establishment of NU鈥檚 Emergency Operations Center, and collaboration with Incident Command to manage the events.
