In conjunction with the Disaster Preparedness Committee and volunteers from the various districts in the City, we conducted a city-wide emergency communications exercise. Below is an outline of the results of the exercise. We are compiling a list of things for improvement and will be working on them over the coming months. We would like to thank all the volunteers who made this exercise a success!

Syracuse District:  Percentage of Blocks that checked in: 97/137 – 71%

Syracuse South District: Percentage of Blocks that checked in: 0/140 – 0%

Legacy Park District: Percentage of Blocks that checked in: 97/128 – 76%

Bluff District: Percentage of Blocks that checked in: 14/140 – 10%

Syracuse West District: Percentage of Blocks that checked in: 35/177 – 20%

Representatives from the Utah Division of Emergency Management and Davis County Emergency Management were also in attendance and assisted us in this training exercise.

Syracuse CERT members were asked to check in during our exercise and 78 out of 220 responded.

This is a great baseline and we are able to know where improvements are needed for next year’s exercise.
