The purpose of the online exercise schedule is to raise awareness of when oil spill response exercises are occurring, to allow exercise planners to proactively schedule exercises, and to raise awareness of when oil spill response exercises are occurring to avoid scheduling multiple exercises on the same day. The exercises listed on the schedule are those exercises that DEC plans to either conduct or participate in. For additional information regarding coordinating exercise scheduling with DEC, please refer to DEC’s Oil Spill Response Exercise Manual, A Guide for Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Exercises.
