Description
Emergency management exercises are an essential part of plan review and validation. They may also be used to evaluate the planning processes used, to identify needs, or to demonstrate capabilities. The management of an exercise is a systematic process involving consultation, planning, documenting, conducting, evaluation and validation. All organisations involved in emergency management should also be involved in the development of emergency management exercises. This course is relevant to the development of small site Emergency Response Team exercises and to the development of multi-agency, community emergency management exercises.
