Wildlife Resiliency Exercise
Join us October 20th–22nd for the Wildlife Resiliency Exercise! See the daily course schedule and descriptions below. Participants may attend one, two, or all three days. The purpose of the Wildlife Resiliency Exercise is to strengthen the readiness and coordination of agencies, organizations, and stakeholders to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents impacting wildlife through a hands-on, practical scenario-based training workshops and a Wildlife Branch Full-Scale Exercise.
Description
The scope of this Wildlife Resiliency Exercise includes a Workshop and Full-Scale Exercise (FSE) focused on Wildlife Branch operations within the coastal zone of Texas.
- The Workshop on October 20th & 21st will provide practical training and experience for participants, while also supporting the development of products that facilitate Wildlife Branch operations.
- The Full-Scale Exercise on October 22nd is open to all personnel and encouraged. Participants not normally assigned to Wildlife Branch roles will serve in field response positions, such as Wildlife Reconnaissance and Recovery or Wildlife Rehabilitation Teams. This provides hands-on experience, builds familiarity with field operations, and strengthens coordination between Incident Management Team and field personnel.
- Prerequisite: To attend the Full-Scale Exercise on October 22nd, you must attend Workshop Day 1 on October 20th and/or Workshop Day 2 on October 21st.
