Subject: FSUS Safety and Reunification Exercise Initial Planning Meeting

Good afternoon,
FSUS (Florida High) will be partnering with community agencies and Florida State University Emergency Management to plan and conduct a school safety and reunification exercise on May 26, 2027.
To begin coordination efforts, we are inviting representatives from participating organizations to attend an initial planning meeting:
Date: Friday, August 7, 2026
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Location: FSUS Auditorium
If you are unable to attend, please provide a contact email address for a designee who may be able to represent your agency. We will also plan to share after action and planning information via email as a follow-up to ensure your organization remains informed throughout the exercise development process.
The May 26th exercise scenario involves an active assailant incident requiring lockdown procedures, law enforcement response, and the implementation of an off-site student reunification operation. Key exercise objectives include:

* Testing classroom clearing procedures and officer-dispatch communications
* Evaluating multi-agency coordination, command structure, and perimeter operations
* Assessing reunification site setup and reunification procedures
* Tracking student movement and guardian release through the RAPTOR system
* Ensuring the availability of counseling, medical support, and communications resources at the reunification site
To assist with planning, please reply with your agency confirmation by Thursday, August 6th. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to collaborating on this important preparedness effort.
Sincerely,
