Overview This exercise is designed to test ORWG’s ability to alert members and communicate during a major disruptive event. We seek to answer the question: Ø “Are the Oregon Wing and all of its Squadrons fully prepared and adequately trained to respond to a major disruptive event and are our communications capabilities sufficient to sustain our mission? ” Ø ORWG July 2019 Communications Webinar 3

Objectives Validate the existing readiness, communications assets, and alerting capabilities of ORWG. Ø Initiate an Alert Level 1, ensure all ORWG units are able to receive the alert within a specified timeframe. Ø Encourage and empower units to be responsible for their own Catastrophic Plans; ensure their members are familiar with the response process and everyone knows where the plan is stored and has access to it.
