Community Reception Center (CRC) Drill Toolkit

This new toolkit has been created to help communities, agencies, and emergency planners design and implement a Community Reception Center (CRC) Drill.

The CRC Drill toolkit provides guidance and templates that any jurisdiction can adapt to exercise the full range of CRC operations. The drill was developed to be compatible with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). It also incorporates insights, issues, and lessons learned from real-world events.
