Come explore the Spokane Valley this September, where we will begin the day by visiting Avista Corporation, an American energy company. Avista provides electric service to more than 600,000 electric and natural gas customers across 30,000 square miles in eastern Washington, northern Idaho and parts of southern and eastern Oregon.
Our second stop during our expedition will take us on a drive along the Spokane River to a cliff-top setting that will take your breath away — and your appetite too as we stop for some local fare for lunch at a local winery.
After touring a crown jewel of the Inland Northwest, we’ll make our way to Felts Field Airport for a behind the scenes tour. At the conclusion of the tour, participants will arrive back to the hotel in plenty of time for the opening reception.

Building and Implementing Locally Based Table Top Exercises for Community Resources: A Hands on Workshop for Extension Professionals
Presenters: Mike Gaffney and Christina Sanders, Washington State University Extension
Disasters occur in all corners of the nation, and while there are numerous resources available for exercises, there are rarely tabletop exercises that match up with risks and resources available in local communities. As Extension Professions work with diverse audiences and communities, customized exercises that reflect the realistic hazards and resources help identify gaps and needs in preparation.
This workshop will focus on the development of exercises that activate non-first response agencies and functions that community members might be covering. These exercises will be valuable tools for COAD Groups, Social Service Networks and other coalitions that may want to understand the types of needs the community will have after a disaster.
This workshop will lead participants through the planning and implementation processes of a customized tabletop, specific to their area. Participants will learn how to:
- Identify Audience/Participants in the “Tabletop”
- Review Participant’s primary role in disaster scenario
- Determine the type, magnitude and scope of the tabletop “disaster”
- Write up the exercise materials including initial script, injects and hot wash questions that will engage participants and their resources
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise and determine ways to make future community based exercises more beneficial.
