3. Advancing “Whole Community” Security and Emergency Management. As the country experiences threats of terrorist attacks (foreign and domestic) and natural disasters, communities are challenged to develop collective, local abilities to withstand the potential impacts of these events, respond quickly, and recover in a way that sustains or improves the community’s overall well- being. Achieving this collective capacity calls for innovative approaches across the community, including emergency management to build up existing practices, institutions, and organizations that help make local communities successful, and that can leverage this infrastructure if and when an incident occurs.

13. Types……. Discussion-Based Exercises: are normally used as a starting point in the building-block approach of escalating exercise complexity. Discussion-based exercises include seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises (TTXs), and games. These types of exercises typically highlight existing plans, policies, interagency/inter-jurisdictional agreements, and procedures. Operations-Based Exercises : exercises represent the next level of the exercise cycle. They are used to validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures solidified in discussion-based exercises. Operations-based exercises include drills, functional exercises (FEs), and full-scale exercises (FSEs). FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY “Building sustainable capabilities across all phases of Emergency Management in Kansas through selfless service”

14. Discussion Based: Seminars: informal discussions, unconstrained by real- time portrayal of events and led by a presenter. They are generally employed to orient participants to, or provide an overview of, authorities, strategies, plans, policies, procedures, protocols, response resources, and/or concepts and ideas Workshops: differ from seminars in two important respects: participant interaction is increased, and the focus is on achieving or building a product (such as a draft plan or policy).

15. Discussion Based continued: Tabletop Exercises: TTXs involve key personnel discussing hypothetical scenarios in an informal setting. This type of exercise can be used to assess plans, policies, and procedures or to assess the systems needed to guide the prevention of, response to, and recovery from a defined incident. Games: A game is a simulation of operations that often involves two or more teams and uses rules, data, and procedures to depict an actual or assumed real-life situation.

16. Operations Based: Drill: a coordinated, supervised activity usually employed to validate a single, specific operation or function in a single agency or organizational entity. Functional Exercises: Are designed to validate and evaluate individual capabilities, multiple functions, activities within a function, or interdependent groups of functions. FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY “Building sustainable capabilities across all phases of Emergency Management in Kansas through selfless service”

17. Operations Based continued: Full-Scale Exercises: is the most complex type of exercise. FSEs are multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional, multi- organizational exercises that validate many facets of preparedness. They focus on implementing and analyzing the plans, policies, procedures, and cooperative agreements developed in discussion- based exercises and honed in previous, smaller, operations-based exercises.
