Please use this link to sign your agency/team up for the statewide exercise

This year’s statewide AUXCOMM exercise will take place on Saturday April 12, 2025 from 0900-1200 ET. Currently, we are accepting signups from communications teams at the city, county, state, and federal level (official agency participation is highly encouraged.) We are working to coordinate an individual participant portion of the exercise to allow for AUXCOMM taskbook evaluation sign-offs. More information will be provided at a later time if this option becomes available.

The radio room at the State EOC (Florida Division of Emergency Management) will be active during this exercise. This exercise will give you the opportunity to test your AUXCOMM communication capabilities to and from the SEOC ahead of hurricane season.

  • Scenario
    • Florida is under siege as Cyberstorm unfolds—a devastating outbreak of tornadoes wreaks havoc across the state, crippling infrastructure and overwhelming emergency services. As the chaos peaks, a coordinated cyber attack strikes, taking down internet and cellular networks statewide. With communications in disarray and panic spreading, emergency responders and amateur radio operators must step up to restore order and relay critical information. This exercise will test participants’ ability to adapt, communicate, and coordinate in the face of simultaneous natural and cyber disasters. Are you ready for Cyberstorm?
