Federal interagency partners listen intently to discussions about regional training and exercise priorities at the Region X Training & Exercise Planning

Workshop in Seattle, WA in July 2014.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region X Training & Exercise Quarterly Compendium (TEQC) is published on a quarterly basis and contains basic information about regionally significant training and exercise events occurring in the next three (3) years.

As a companion to the Multi-Year Training & Exercise Plan (MYTEP), TEQC is updated to coincide with quarterly meetings of the Regional Interagency Steering Committee (RISC) Training and Exercise Subcommittee which meets to increase emergency management capabilities, regional preparedness, and to sustain operational readiness through the design and conduct of various training and joint exercises as part of the Plan-Train-Equip-Exercise preparedness cycle.

This edition includes events occurring between October 2014-December 2017. The next edition will be published in January 2015 and a call for updates will be distributed in early December 2014.

A regionally significant training or exercise event includes but is not limited to the following types of events;

• training which is open for enrollment by outside agencies,

• exercises in need of evaluators or controllers,

• exercises open to observers,

• multi-jurisdictional training and exercises,

• regional training and exercises,

• and training and exercises which an agency would like other regional partners to be aware of.

For more information about the Region X Training & Exercise Quarterly Compendium please contact Adina M. Pease Adina.Pease@fema.dhs.gov or at (425) 487-4672.
