CHAOS Bootcamp

CHAOS Bootcamp is an annual, hands-on, multi-disciplinary training and exercise event focused on improving coordination, decision-making, and operational performance during high-stress, complex incidents. Each year, the Bootcamp is built around a different set of real-world scenarios and priority hazards, allowing agencies to train on current threats, emerging challenges, and identified gaps. The program blends classroom instruction, practical skill stations, and scenario-based exercises to strengthen interagency coordination, clarify roles and responsibilities, and reinforce incident management principles. CHAOS Bootcamp is designed to be practical, realistic, and immediately applicable to field and EOC operations because chaos is not the time to be learning for the first time.
