The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR) is pleased to announce the 2021 Multi-County Disaster Recovery and Redevelopment Tabletop Exercise (TTX). This will be an in-person only event with breakfast and lunch provided.

The aim of the exercise is to provide an opportunity for Counties to engage their Disaster Recovery and Redevelopment Plans (DRRPs) in a hurricane scenario. Participants will think critically through three modules to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in their DRRPs, pertaining to:

• Decision-making processes for jurisdictional coordination, damage assessments, and volunteer integration.
• Management of resources and coordination efforts between jurisdictions during short-term and intermediate recovery and redevelopment.
• Concepts of community resilience during long-term recovery and redevelopment operations.

Georgia DNR will then facilitate discussion centered around key issues associated with the impacts of a Category 3 hurricane; this includes a dedicated session to understanding marine debris removal and management. The hurricane scenario will activate each County's DRRP and inspire thoughtful dialogue amongst agencies involved in response and recovery operations. Participants involved in the TTX represent the following agencies:

• DRRP Counties
• National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
• National Weather Service Jacksonville
• Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters
• Coastal Health District
• Georgia Department of Natural Resources
• Georgia Department of Agriculture
• Georgia Department of Community Affairs
• Georgia Emergency Management Agency
• Federal Emergency Management Agency
