On March 10, 2020, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency released the following information via PennLink to all LEAs.

“Due to real world events, PEMA will be curtailing the scope of the March 26, 2020, All Hazards Exercise (2020AHX). The CRCC will not activate for the exercise; only the SimCell will be operational to permit counties, schools, health organizations, nursing and personal care homes, and day cares to test their emergency plans.”

“PEMA will re-evaluate this course of action based on the following actions occurring:

• An increased number of county emergency operations centers (EOCs) activating
• An increased number of school districts closing schools
• A large number of those already registered withdrawing from the exercise in TRAIN PA.”

State Exercise Officer Reg Godfrey will be contacting personnel on the design team.
