There are five basic types of emergency exercise: orientation, drill, tabletop, functional, and full scale. This manual describes each of these types and provides sample program schedules, scope characteristics, and requirements for conducting exercises. The manual outlines time tables for exercise planners and provides various checklists pertaining to exercise preparation, physical facilities, staffing, evaluation, critique, and evaluation report. Follow-up is a necessary area of exercise development and can be assured by drafting a memorandum to all exercise participants making specific assignments for follow-up, monitoring follow-up, and building the recommended improvements into the next exercise.
