The second session will be an actual tabletop exercise related to a severe weather event. The event will be customizable to the weather-related events on each RHC's risk assessment (thunderstorm, winter weather, flooding, high tides, wind, and related loss of utilities). Each participating clinic will learn how to conduct a tabletop exercise and how to use the tabletop to train RHC staff.

The last session of this series will focus on documenting an EP testing exercise or an EP activation. Participants will learn how to document the event properly and make any necessary revisions to their EP plan. This session will also recap the EPP requirements for RHCs and tie back to the previous sessions so that RHCs can come full circle on their knowledge and understanding of Emergency Preparedness.
