PRESENTATION:
 
What if a Category 5 hurricane struck the Tampa Bay region? How would the events unfold, and what would the region look like in the aftermath of the storm? How can you use this scenario as an exercise for your organization? 
 
Our presenter for the meeting is Brian Ellis, who serves as the Disaster Recovery Coordinator for the Tampa Bay Planning Council.  In this meeting, Brian will share how the exercise was developed and tips on using this tool to conduct an exercise at your organization. 
 
Project Phoenix 2.0: The Recovery is a facilitated training exercise that examines critical issues and capabilities of Tampa Bay area small businesses and emergency management agencies during disaster recovery. A series of videos supplement the exercise; illustrating a simulated Category 5 hurricane hitting Tampa Bay paralleled with lessons learned and words of advice from small business owners impacted by Hurricane Michael in 2018.
