Tabletop Exercise

A tabletop exercise is a facilitated analysis of an emergency situation in an informal, stress-free environment. It is designed to elicit constructive discussion as participants examine and resolve problems based on existing plans and procedures and identify where those plans/procedures need to be refined. 

A tabletop exercise has several important applications:

• Low stress discussions of coordination and policies/plans
• Good environment for problem solving
• Opportunity for key agencies and stakeholders to meet and work face to face
• Participants gain value in learning their roles and respective responsibilities
• Chance to learn or review other agencies resources and responsibilities
• Great stepping stone to prepare for operations based exercises such as a functional or full scale
