all phases of Emergency Management, through a comprehensive training and exercise program.

Mongold/Kesecker April 29, 2014
Virginia Objective Linkages The NEP uses an objectives-based planning approach in which
overarching central objectives serve as the basis of the exercise program and the primary drivers of exercise development
NEP uses three levels of objectives:
Principal Objectives: critical, high-level functions, mission, and priorities
General Objectives: operational priorities
Exercise-Specific Objectives: objectives, capabilities, or event-specific actions

Involving the Whole Community A key tenet of the NEP is active participation from across the
whole community
Virginia has expanded involving community partners this through several avenues Training localities on inclusive response planning and applications
On going training of instructors on VA’s population and culture diversity
Customization of courses to include VA specific information on engaging whole community
Including community partners in VDEM led meetings and committees
Engaging community partners in exercises and activations
Expanding relationships with VOAD, CERT, private sector

I P W Cycle Two-year NEP cycle begins with the establishment of Principal
Objectives and moves through exercises
Virginia interpretation was to move IPWs to a two-year cycle
Current view - this frequency is not sufficient for keeping abreast of changing needs related to events and turnover
Will align VDEM IPW and Grants annual meeting in 2015

Update Regional/State Exercise 2005 - 2012 targeted exercise levels
2 exercises x 7 regions = 14 2 state exercises = 2
2013- present targeted exercise levels 1 exercise x 7 regions = 7 2 state exercises = 2 7 technical assistance exercises = 7 Procured multi-vendor contract for
exercises
Avg = 23
