Vanderbilt’s Office of Emergency Preparedness, Fire and Workplace Safety will host representatives from across the university who play a key role in disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for an emergency table-top training exercise on Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Student Life Center.

This yearly exercise is intended to give internal operational stakeholders and external first responders an opportunity to collaborate on a scenario-based drill as part of the university’s ongoing emergency preparedness efforts.

Last year the drill evaluated the campus evacuation plan, lockdown procedures, campus response, and recovery operations.
