The County of Marin Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is seeking volunteers to participate in an upcoming Family Reunification Center (FRC) and Family Assistance Center (FAC) functional exercise.

Date: Oct 14, 2025

Check-in/Role Assignments: 7:45 AM | Exercise Start: 9:00 AM | Exercise End/Debrief: 3:00 PM | Release: 4:00 PM

Location: Marin Center (Exact location will be sent to confirmed participants)

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

This is a training exercise designed to test Marin County’s ability to operate two critical resources used during disasters: – A Family Reunification Center (FRC) to support those seeking missing loved ones or that have immediate needs – A Family Assistance Center (FAC) to support those impacted by injury or death after a major event

No acting experience needed! You will receive a brief character card and instructions when you check in. You may be asked to play the role of someone looking for a loved one, a survivor needing help, or a concerned friend or neighbor. This is a safe, inclusive, and supportive training event.

We need your help to make this as realistic and valuable as possible.

Email info@readymarin.org by September 30th if you would like to participate.

Thank you!
