Rally Point Exercise
One important initiative of the R&DE Emergency Preparedness group are regularly held Rally Point Exercises. participants from across the organization are invited and trained on how to activate, distribute and use emergency supplies stored strategically around campus in case of an emergency.
Among many useful items, current supplies include ready-to-eat meals (MREs), water, tents, cots, blankets, flashlights, walkie-talkies, megaphones and radios.
