About the Community College Reunification Tabletop Exercise

The Community College Reunification Tabletop Exercise will enable community colleges to assess current reunification procedures, identify gaps, and reinforce best practices that support the safety, security, and well-being of students, staff, families, and the whole community.

The 4-hour exercise emphasizes a unified, scalable approach to managing complex incidents designed to strengthen preparedness and operational coordination. Through a facilitated, scenario-driven discussion, participants will examine roles and responsibilities, reunification operations, and coordination processes involving campus personnel, emergency management, law enforcement, and other emergency responders.

Participants will also explore key considerations, decision-making challenges, training resources, and emergency response protocols to enhance reunification planning.

The Community College Reunification Tabletop Exercise is designed for individuals and organizations involved in planning for, coordinating, or supporting campus reunification operations, including:

  1. Presidents
  2. Chancellors
  3. Campus administrators who are responsible for campus-wide safety and security
  4. Safety and security staff

  6. Counseling and student support personnel
  7. Public Information Officers (PIOs)
  8. Local law enforcement, fire, and EMS partners
