Emergency Operation Plan: Exercise and Evaluation Program
Actual emergency experience and past planned exercises have taught us that well-rehearsed and planned emergency exercises are the most effective way to prepare for and control emergency situations. Our objective is to develop a rigorous and effective exercise program that continuously improves our campus preparedness and capabilities through preplanning activities, exercise execution, and after-action review.
Exercise Program Team
The execution and efforts of the exercise program will be completed through a team consisting of the following:
- ETAMU Environmental Health and Safety
- ETAMU UPD
- Hunt County Homeland Security
- City of Commerce Emergency Management
- Commerce Independent School District
Each member of the Exercise Program Team will have the authorization of their department, division, or agency to make necessary exercise program decisions and commitments as necessary. As part of the whole community integration effort, exercises will be developed and executed with each agencies requirements and needs in consideration.
Exercise Planning Team
The exercise planning team is the core group responsible for the design, development, conduct, and
evaluation of an exercise. Because of their high level of involvement, planning team members are ideal
selections for exercise controller and evaluator positions.
Exercise Planning Team Members
- ETAMU Environmental Health and Safety
- ETAMU UPD

- City of Commerce Emergency Management
- Representatives of the affected agencies, jurisdictions, and department(s) supervisor or acting lead
