2. Orientation Seminar. This seminar involves bringing together those with a role or interest in the AEP (e.g. airport, ARFF, law enforcement, EMS, air carriers, media, airport tenants, etc.) to discuss the AEP and initial plans for upcoming drills and exercises, as well as to become familiar with the roles, procedures, responsibilities, and personalities of all those involved.

3. Tabletop Exercise. The tabletop exercise is a higher-level test than the drill and is designed to provide training and evaluate plans and procedures and to resolve questions of coordination and assignment of responsibilities in an informal, non- threatening format without concern for time constraints, stress levels, or actual simulations. The methodology of the tabletop exercise is by discussion in a meeting format through a facilitator. Effectiveness is determined by feedback from participants and the impact this feedback has on evaluating and revising policies, plans, and procedures. There is no utilization of equipment or deployment of resources. Therefore, all activities are simulated and participants interact through discussion.
