Sioux City, Iowa, USA, 1989 • United Airlines Flight 232 crashed during an emergency landing. • 109 lives were lost in this disaster, 186 passengers survived. • Their survival was due mainly to three factors: • Response of the flight crew before the crash • Trained rescue units waiting on the ground • Centralized communications among all response agencies 6

Using a Progressive Approach Full-Scale Exercises Functional Exercises Drills Games Seminars Operations Based Capability Discussion Tabletops Workshops Based Planning and Training 7

Discussion-Based Exercises Review strategies, plans, agreements • Involve mid- to senior-level officials • Do not deploy resources • 8

Types of Discussion-Based Exercises • Seminars • Workshops • Tabletop Exercises • Games 9

Operations-Based Exercises • Deploy resources and personnel • Require execution of plans, policies, agreements, and procedures • Identify gaps in plans and team performances 10

Types of Operations-Based Exercises • Partial Exercises or Drills • Functional Exercises • Full-Scale Exercises 11

DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING AN EXERCISE 12

Needs Assessment The needs assessment identifies: • Likely incidents and their priority • Resources most requiring exercise • Plans most requiring exercise 13

Activity: Needs Assessment Brainstorm: • Likely incidents and their priority • Resources most requiring exercise • Plans most requiring exercise 14

Exercise Objectives: • Define specific exercise outcomes • Provide a framework for scenario development • Provide exercise evaluation criteria 28

Developing Exercise Objectives Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time-oriented 29

Sample Exercise Objectives 1. Within 15 minutes after the evacuation notice is given, members of the Emergency Operations Center will complete all notification procedures to the airport management team. 2. Within 30 minutes determine, through tabletop discussion, if the Standard Operation Procedures for initiating the emergency warning system conflicts with other guidelines or policies. 30
