Exercises allow emergency management personnel, from first responders to senior officials, to train and practice capabilities in a realistic but risk-free environment. Exercises are also a valuable tool for assessing and addressing areas for improvement, while demonstrating community resolve to prepare for major incidents.
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program
HSEEP provides guiding principles for exercise design, development, implementation and evaluation.
Exercise Types
There are seven types of exercises defined within HSEEP, each of which is either discussions-based or operations-based.
