| Capital Area Chapter's Hurricane Zoe Exercise June 3 2006 |
| Hurricane Zoe Exercise - Mission |
The mission of the Hurricane Zoe Exercise was to test the ability of the Capital Area Chapter and its partner organizations to initiate disaster response and recovery activities once a category two (2) storm has passed through North Florida. From conducting Needs and Damage Assessment to managing long term shelters, from establishing and staffing Points of Distribution to establishing and staffing Emergency Aid Stations the exercise put the Capital Area Chapter's Disaster Services Volunteers and its partner organizations through their paces all in an effort to prepare for the 2006 Hurricane Season.
