The COSTEP MA TTX will host multiple institutions in a virtual setting to test their plans,\u00a0respond to disaster\u00a0scenarios in real time, and then discuss the decision-making process with each other through virtual conference technology.\u00a0Most or all of an institution&#8217;s staff are encouraged to\u00a0participate. Multiple exercises will be offered in 2020, with the first scheduled for\u00a0Tuesday, September 22nd from 10am-12pm.
