Table Top Exercise - Simplifying Hub Roles
2016-10-01 09:00 - 13:00 | Verity Credit Union – Northgate Corporate Building, 11027 Meridiian Ave N, Seattle, WA, 98133, United States
Every year we hold a practice session, called a Table Top Exercise, where we work out the kinks on the different jobs or functions we will be doing at a hub in response to a disaster. If you’ve been in one of our drills before, we would welcome your attendance. Your observations and ideas for improvement are important. And if you’ve only heard about the hubs and have not yet been able to practice, this is a perfect opportunity to join in. A Table Top means that we take the time to go slowly through the information, and it is a much easier entry than a full up field drill!
