Training and Exercises

Virginia Commonwealth University Emergency Management frequently provides training across all VCU campuses, both on an ongoing basis and upon request by members of the VCU community. Additionally, VCU Emergency Management regularly designs and executes training exercises of all types to satisfy state requirements and ensure federal compliance with the Clery Act. These exercises range from small, department-level tabletop exercises to large, multijurisdictional full-scale exercises.

All training and exercises are informed by the VCU Hazard Mitigation Plan for the respective training year, the VCU Integrated Preparedness Plan, and requests from VCU staff, faculty and students. These activities are designed to better prepare VCU to respond to and recover from both known and unknown hazards.

If you are a representative of a student organization,  faculty, or staff member at VCU and would like to request a training or exercise, please message emergencymgmt@vcu.edu and a member of our team will reach out to you for further coordination.
