Thank you for your interest in assisting with FEMA's 2023 Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) capability - Full Scale Exercise commonly referred to as “Rising Phoenix”; your participation is key to the Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) conducting an effective exercise. Assisting in the exercise will also provide you insight into how these centers operate. See below for more details. 

EVENT BACKGROUND: FEMA, MDEM &amp; MD Agencies will be testing their capability of running a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). DRC's are places that provide disaster survivors a place to receive information, apply for assistance and disaster loans and learn about other resources available. In order to test this capability Actors are needed. Actors will be provided a card with details about the survivors situation. The DRC will have approximately 26 tables set up and Actors will visit those tables. Note: we encourage Actors that fluently speak other languages and have access or functional needs to participate for "real world" exercise testing purposes. 

DATE : Rising Phoenix will be held on Thursday, May 11th, 2023.
