‘Exercez’ is the formal/plural imperative; use it only if you’re addressing a group or someone you’d address with ‘vous’. The original sentence is informal.
Exerce ta plan d'urgence régulièrement.
‘Plan’ is masculine, so the possessive must be ‘ton’, not ‘ta’. Using ‘ta’ would be grammatically incorrect.

Cultural Tip
In many French‑speaking regions—especially those prone to floods, earthquakes, or severe weather—authorities promote regular emergency drills. When speaking to a professional audience, you might prefer the formal imperative ‘Exercez votre plan d'urgence…’, but with friends or family the informal ‘ton’ and ‘exerce’ are perfectly natural.
