Why do we conduct exercises?
Clarify roles and responsibilities
Improve interagency coordination
Find Resource gaps
Develop individual performance
Identify opportunities for improvement

Exercises
Play a vital role in national preparedness
by enabling whole community stakeholders to test and validate plans
and capabilities, and identify both gaps and areas for improvement.
Bring together and strengthen the whole community
in its efforts to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from all hazards
Cost-effective and useful tools
To practice and refine our collective capacity
To achieve the core capabilities in the National Preparedness Goal.

Eight key steps to exercise design
Setting the exercise foundation
Selecting participants for planning team and developing timelines
Developing objectives and identifying core capabilities
Identifying evaluations guidelines
Developing the exercise scenario
Creating documentation
Coordinating logistics
Planning for exercise control and evaluation

Types of Exercises

Discussion Based Exercises
Discussion-based exercises familiarize participants with current plans, policies, agreements and procedures, or may be used to develop new plans, policies, agreements, and procedures. Types of discussion-based exercises include:
Seminars, Workshops, Tabletop Exercises (TTX), Games
![Page 8: The Basics of Preparedness Exercises€¦ · Drills, Functional and Full Scale . Drills ... (Health Department, LTC, Hospitals, Emergency operation center, fire, EMS, ... “Boots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edda72cad6a402d6668cdce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Operation Based Exercises
Operation Based Exercises validate plans, policies, agreements and procedures, clarify roles and responsibilities, and identify resource gaps in an operational environment. Types of operations-based exercises:
Drills, Functional and Full Scale
![Page 9: The Basics of Preparedness Exercises€¦ · Drills, Functional and Full Scale . Drills ... (Health Department, LTC, Hospitals, Emergency operation center, fire, EMS, ... “Boots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edda72cad6a402d6668cdce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Drills
Coordinated, supervised activity
Employed to test a single, specific operation or function within a single entity
![Page 10: The Basics of Preparedness Exercises€¦ · Drills, Functional and Full Scale . Drills ... (Health Department, LTC, Hospitals, Emergency operation center, fire, EMS, ... “Boots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edda72cad6a402d6668cdce/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Functional Exercise (FE)
Examines and/or validates the coordination, command, and control between various organizations
(Health Department, LTC, Hospitals,
Emergency operation center, fire, EMS,
Does not involve any “boots on the ground” (i.e., first responders or emergency officials responding to an incident in real time).
![Page 11: The Basics of Preparedness Exercises€¦ · Drills, Functional and Full Scale . Drills ... (Health Department, LTC, Hospitals, Emergency operation center, fire, EMS, ... “Boots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edda72cad6a402d6668cdce/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Full Scale Exercise (FSE)
Multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional, multi-discipline exercise involving functional (e.g., joint field office, emergency operation centers, EMA, Fire Department, etc.) and
“Boots on the ground” response (e.g., firefighters decontaminating mock victims).

Evaluation
Can also be referred to as “hot wash” or debriefing
Hot wash: immediately after the event/exercise
Debrief: happens later, report out from various locations/departments
Many tools can be used.
Should be evaluated by those participating in the exercise
