2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

PREFACE The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) Preparedness Directorate’s Office of Grants and Training (G&T) requires that every State and Urban Area conduct a Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW) annually. As a result, Florida conducted its 2012-2014 Multi-Year T&EPW on April 12-13, 2011, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, resulting in a proposed Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP). The State of Florida has pursued a coordinated domestic security strategy that combines enhanced planning, new equipment purchases, innovative training, and realistic exercises to strengthen the State’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities. Training and exercises play a crucial role in this strategy, providing the State with a means of attaining, practicing, validating, and improving these capabilities. Many of the State’s training and exercise programs are promoted and coordinated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), in coordination with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Florida Department of Health (FDOH), the Regional Domestic Security Task Forces (RDSTF), Urban Area Security Initiatives (UASI), Local Emergency Planning Councils (LEPC) and numerous county, municipal and local emergency response agencies. Therefore, leveraging the functional relationships embedded within Florida’s governance structure makes sense and is crucial to the collaborative success of this year’s T&EPW. This will remain so into the foreseeable future. These governing entities, designed to encourage and facilitate multi-jurisdictional and multidisciplinary participation at all levels of government, also provides a linkage between the State’s collaborative training and exercise planning efforts and its funding/resourcing processes. This linkage creates added incentive for the Regional Coordinators (supported by Regional Planning Council points of contact) to not only actively participate in the annual T&EPW, but to provide oversight of the regional collection/maintenance of historical exercise and training data critical to the T&EPW execution. This Regional data and its accuracy are needed to justify future funding and allocation of resources. The collection of data supporting this year’s MYTEP was gathered in two phases:

• Phase 1: Consisted of gathering and reviewing training/exercise data from within the specific region. This was accomplished under the oversight of the Regional Coordinators and assistance from the Regional Planning Councils, who collated, formatted and submitted the training/exercise data on the State share point site. This regional baseline data, as it was submitted, remains archived on the State share point site for reference, and is included as part of the TEP as Appendix B.

• Phase 2: Consisted of the collaborative data collected during the conduct of the T&EPW. There, the regional participants were charged with identifying regional training and exercise priorities and windows of opportunity to consolidate their training and

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

exercise needs with other regions when appropriate to save money and resources and potentially enhance the value of the exercise and training experience.

This year’s T&EPW was attended by all the Regional Coordinators and Regional Planning Council point of contacts. Their active participation ensured its success. The resulting MYTEP reflects the regional consolidated, collaborative effort to identify common priorities and windows of time where they could train and exercise together (when appropriate). As mentioned in the process explained above, Florida would save precious money and resources, while potentially increasing the value of these future training/exercise experiences for the participants, by executing this MYTEP. This illustrates the value of the T&EPW process, and a process of more acute value in funding constrained times such as exist today. Without this level of participation and assistance from all of the Regional players, the T&EPW would not be possible. Therefore, a debt of gratitude is owed to all the Regional participants for their contributions to this year’s collective effort.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE The purpose of the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) is to provide a follow-up companion document to Florida’s Domestic Security Strategic Plan. It is a living document that will be updated and refined annually. The MYTEP provides a roadmap for Florida to follow in accomplishing the priorities described in Florida’s Domestic Security Strategic Plan. Each State priority is linked to a corresponding National Priority, and, if applicable, an Improvement Plan (IP) action. The priority is further linked to the associated target capabilities that would facilitate accomplishment of the priority and the training and exercises that will help the jurisdiction obtain those capabilities and achieve that priority. OVERVIEW The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires that every State and urban area conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW). As a result, Florida conducted its Multi-Year T&EPW in April 2011, and has since produced this Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan. The State of Florida has pursued a coordinated homeland security strategy that combines enhanced planning, new equipment purchases, innovative training, and realistic exercises to strengthen the State’s emergency prevention and response capabilities. Training and exercises play a crucial role in this strategy, providing the State with a means of developing, practicing, validating, and improving capabilities. The MYTEP provides the linkage between this strategy and the supporting training and exercise activities. The State’s training and exercise programs are administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, in coordination with its local, State, Federal, and private partners. The training and exercise agenda described in this plan is contingent upon funding for the identified State-level response agencies and collaborating jurisdictional response stakeholders. STAKEHOLDERS Stakeholders included:

• Government/entities with roles and responsibilities in natural and technological hazards • Local Agencies including all departments and special teams • Counties including all county departments and special teams • Municipalities including all municipal departments

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 2 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

• Critical Infrastructure including hospitals, ports, airports, utilities, school districts, etc. • Collaborative Organizations (RDSTF, UASI, LEPC, Citizen Corps, and others) • State Agencies (including all departments, Divisions and special teams) • Optional Federal Agencies/Military Installations

PROCESS OVERVIEW The Florida Division of Emergency Management Training and Exercise Unit is responsible for the development and submission to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of the State’s MYTEP. FDEM developed the overall MYTEP worksheets; initiated the data collection process within each region; conducted a State T&EPW; finalized and submitted the MYTEP; and provided support to stakeholders as available throughout the MYTEP implementation. In order to consolidate a MYTEP for the State of Florida, each region (and each stakeholder within each region) was tasked to identify its needs. Each stakeholder then determined which capabilities, from Florida’s Domestic Security Strategic Plan, would be focused on priorities for the plan period. In support of the selected priority capabilities, the stakeholder further identified which training courses and/or exercises they would undertake in order to obtain, maintain, enhance or validate the selected capabilities. They entered the identified training on the training and exercise schedule included in the stakeholder packet. This information was then entered onto the State’s share point site to archive it for future reference and use during and after the T&EPW. The ultimate use of this plan is to promote collaboration whenever possible and justify training and exercise funding from the various funding sources, ensuring effective, strategic allocation of resources. It was understood by all stakeholders that while this plan does not constitute a binding commitment, they should none the less strive to accomplish it. REGIONAL COORDINATORS The FDEM Regional Coordinators were responsible for leading the effort in each region. They forwarded the training and exercise information request via the County Emergency Management Agencies within each Region, who further distributed it to all county departments, municipalities, and critical infrastructure agency within their jurisdiction. The FDEM Regional Coordinators also distributed the information request to the RDSTF, LEPC and UASI (as applicable) requesting they identify any overarching organization-specific and/or multi-jurisdictional specialty team specific training and exercises. Regional boundaries for the collection of this data paralleled the FDEM/RDSTF regions.

REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS Further, the Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) were contracted to serve as the collection points for the information submitted by the stakeholders. The RPCs assembled the Regional Training and Exercise Plan components and submitted the information onto the State’s share point site. 2012-2014 T&EPW This discussion area may provide some lessons to other states conducting a T&EPW. It contains some perspectives and solutions to issues that may be encountered by other states engaged in a similar effort. This process is evolving and therefore the following comments represent a “plateau” in that evolving effort and not its optimal end state. REGIONAL DATA COLLECTION Each region was allotted over four weeks time to coordinate/collaborate with the appropriate agencies/jurisdictions to identify their training and exercise priorities, and to ensure that the proposed events were properly assessed against lessons learned, improvement plan recommendations from previous training courses and exercise evaluations. Special emphasis was placed on ensuring the data collected was inclusive, supportable, and reflected wide interagency collaboration. INTERAGENCY PARTICIPATION An effort was made early on to enlist the participation of as many appropriate state and federal agencies as possible. This injected a natural and realistic agency-to-jurisdiction interface into the training and exercise planning process. This interface is consistent and anticipated within the National Response Framework, as well as necessary for the accelerated assessment and response to a catastrophic incident. In that regard, early identification and collaboration between those appropriate players in the T&EPW is not only necessary, but critical to its success. STATE SHAREPOINT SITE To facilitate the free exchange of ideas and the gathering and archiving of data, a State SharePoint site was established. On it, regional and interagency baseline data was collected and archived, and ideas and methodologies were cross-fertilized. Access was limited purposely to Regional Planning Councils and Regional Coordinators. This tool facilitated the visibility and compilation of data necessary for the needs of the T&EPW. The collected data serves to further substantiate the reasoning behind the collective multi-regional decisions reflected in the MYTEP.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 4 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

Additionally, when it comes time to execute, design, and develop an individual exercise, the RPCs or RCs should first access this SharePoint data to identify the regional target capabilities, and tasks associated with the proposed supportive training/exercise. STAKEHOLDER PACKET FDEM developed a Stakeholder Packet that was comprised of training and exercise data collection worksheets for this year’s effort. This format tool greatly improved and standardized the data collection process for the Counties and Regions. This format was further used to collect and display the consolidated collaboration between Regions that occurred during the T&EPW. FUNDING While not yet fully linked in Florida, the use of the MYTEP process in justifying funding and allocating of resources for training and exercises was reinforced and briefed to the participants. This helped to clarify the importance of the effort and further enhanced the value of this collaborative, annual event. LESSONS

• Conduct T&EPW earlier. This T&EPW was conducted earlier than the previous workshop. This will allow time for State decision makers to consider this data in their funding/resource allocation.

• More interagency participation. Distribution of the Stakeholder package to an expanded group would encourage even wider involvement. The availability and value of the State share point site as a historical archive of the data provides an offset to these normally occurring distracters. Therefore, further effort needs to be made for a wider distribution.

• More visibility of schedules needed. The regional data collection process would benefit from better visibility of interagency schedules and plans within the State. Wider access/use of the National Exercise Schedule System (NEXS) may mitigate some of this requirement.

• Funding constrained T&EPW. The feedback from the T&EPW participants was that the conduct of this T&EPW is only possible using a conference/workshop/seminar style event. Nonetheless, constrained funding is a reality that must be addressed for future T&EPW, because the desire is to further expand the participation base.

CHAPTER 2: PROGRAM PRIORITIES 7 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

CHAPTER 2: PROGRAM PRIORITIES As part of the continuous preparedness process, the Florida Division of Emergency Management and other partners drafted the State of Florida State Homeland Security Strategy to define the State’s efforts and areas of focus. Based on the guidance of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as depicted in the National Preparedness Goal, the strategy commits Florida to the National Priorities defined by DHS and supplements these priorities with initiatives specific to Florida’s threats and capabilities to meet those threats. NATIONAL PRIORITIES

1. Implement National Incident Management System and National Response Framework 2. Expanded Regional Collaboration 3. Implement the National Infrastructure Protection Plan 4. Strengthen Information Sharing and Collaboration Capabilities 5. Strengthen Interoperable Communications Capabilities 6. Strengthen CBRNE Detection, Response and Decontamination Capabilities 7. Strengthen Medical Surge and Mass Prophylaxis Capabilities

FLORIDA DOMESTIC SECURITY STRATEGIC GOALS The 2009-2011 Florida Domestic Security Strategic Plan guides the State’s preparedness, prevention, protection, response, and recovery efforts. It identifies Florida’s vision of preparedness and defines the goals and objectives that will enable a realization of this vision. Goal 1: PREPARE for all hazards, natural or man-made, to include terrorism. Goal 2: PREVENT, preempt, and deter acts of terrorism. Goal 3: PROTECT Florida’s citizens, visitors, and critical infrastructure. Goal 4: RESPOND in an immediate, effective, and coordinated manner, focused on the victims

of the attack. Goal 5: RECOVER quickly and restore our way of life following a terrorist act.

CHAPTER 3: TRAINING AND EXERCISE 8 FLORIDA METHODOLOGY

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

CHAPTER 3: TRAINING AND EXERCISE METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION The Florida Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) provides overall guidance for conducting and evaluating exercises. In order to meet the goals and objectives outlined in the State Strategy, several opportunities for training and exercise support have been identified. To accomplish these goals, the State’s roles and responsibilities are to prepare and execute the TEP, provide technical assistance and support to communities, coordinate regional training and exercise collaboration, and coordinate training and exercise funding requests. CYCLE OF ACTIVITIES Figure 3.1 One-year Cycle The jurisdictions within the State of Florida take a holistic, cyclical approach to training and exercise development. The intent is to integrate them into an overall preparedness program. Therefore, the program follows the cycle of planning/development, training/preparation, exercises, and corrective action/improvement. An additional consideration in these tough fiscal times is how taccomplish these steps in a fiscally responsible way. Is there an innovative, less expensive way to meet the functional intent? For example: is it possible to leverage a real event where resources are already committed and use it as a training/exercise opportunity? By adding an observer/evaluation team and or a parallel workshop leveraging the preparatory planning being done for the real event; would it not be possible to examine/vet other aspects of plans not exercised during the normal execution of the event?

o

LOCAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES Local jurisdictions should consider the following when developing their own training goals and schedules:

• Planning: look for opportunities during the planning process o Regional Strategic Plans: develop, review, update and identify strengths,

weaknesses and opportunities o Emergency Operations Plan: develop, review, update and identify weaknesses o Emergency Operations Plan: conduct a needs assessment and vulnerability

analysis • Equipment purchases: factor in training related to new equipment • Exercises: identify response and recovery needs

Page 18: FLORIDA ExPlan 2014 -

CHAPTER 3: TRAINING AND EXERCISE 9 FLORIDA METHODOLOGY

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

• Collaboration: participate and work with Local Emergency Planning Councils and

Regional Domestic Security Task Force Agencies • Evaluation: develop improvement actions and track them to completion • Training Announcements: keep the State informed about staff changes • Frequently check the training and exercise calendars on the internet for opportunities • Think regionally by sharing training and exercise opportunities with neighboring

jurisdictions • Coordinate efforts with all response and recovery agencies

BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH Figure 3.2 Building Block Approach Employing a building block approach for each othe jurisdictions throughout the life of the program remains applicable. The building block approach ensures successful progression in exercise design, complexity, and execution, and allows for the appropriate training and preparation to occur in the community conducting the exercise. By using this methodology, the State can ensure that the levels of exercise sophistication are tailored to each specific region or jurisdiction, while maintaining the same delivery strategy.

The baseline exercise progression for each jurisdiction is to move from a seminar to a tabletop exercise (TTX) to a functional exercise (FE), and finally, to a full scale exercise (FSE). These particular exercise types allow for a logical progression of regional and jurisdictional preparedness by increasing in size, complexity, and stress factor, while allowing for significant learning opportunities that effectively complement, build upon, and directly lead into one another. This model will remain flexible enough to allow for the addition of, or inclusion of, other desired exercise types that the State of Florida may require. Finally, this exercise model allows for a cyclical approach to statewide exercises, which provides the State with a sustainable program for achieving higher degrees of overall preparedness.

CHAPTER 4: MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE SCHEDULE

The State Priorities and Regional Priorities of the Multi-Year Training and Exercise calendar were compiled from the conduct of the T&EPW. They illustrate the collaborative efforts of the regions at consolidating their training and exercise efforts when appropriate and feasible. STATE PRIORITIES The T&EPW participants determined that the State of Florida should establish the following priorities as State priorities for the MYTEP. Each priority is tied to a set of items from the Total Capabilities List.

REGIONAL PRIORITIES Each of Florida’s regions established its regional training and exercise priorities either at the regional level prior to arriving at the State T&EP workshop or during the T&EP workshop. The regional priorities are intended to further the State Strategic Goals; therefore each regional priority identifies the Regional goal it is intended to further. This is important because it serves to clarify the regions intent as they are established by their priorities. Following are the Regional Training and Exercise Priorities and their accompanying State Goals.

CHAPTER 5: TYPES OF EXERCISES 37 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

CHAPTER 5: TYPES OF EXERCISES DISCUSSION-BASED EXERCISES Discussion-based exercises are normally used as a starting point in the building block approach to the cycle, mix, and range of exercises. Discussion-based exercises include seminars, workshops, and tabletop exercises (TTXs). These typically highlight existing plans, policies, mutual aid agreements (MAAs), and procedures. Therefore, they are exceptional tools for familiarizing agencies and personnel with current or expected jurisdictional capabilities. Discussion-based exercises typically focus on strategic, policy-oriented issues; operations-based exercises tend to focus more on tactical, response-related issues. Facilitators and/or presenters usually lead the discussion, keeping participants on track while meeting the objectives of the exercise. SEMINARS Seminars are generally used to orient participants to, or provide an overview of, authorities, strategies, plans, policies, procedures, protocols, response resources, or concepts and ideas. Seminars provide a good starting point for jurisdictions that are developing or making major changes to their plans and procedures. They offer the following attributes:

• Low-stress environment employing a number of instruction techniques such as lectures, multimedia presentations, panel discussions, case study discussions, expert testimony, and decision support tools

• Informal discussions led by a seminar leader • Lack of time constraints caused by real-time portrayal of events • Proven effectiveness with both small and large groups

WORKSHOPS Workshops represent the second tier of exercises in the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) building block approach. Although similar to seminars, workshops differ in two important aspects: participant interaction is increased, and the focus is on achieving or building a product (such as a plan or a policy). Workshops provide an ideal forum for the following:

• Collecting or sharing information • Obtaining new or different perspectives • Testing new ideas, processes, or procedures • Training groups in coordinated activities • Problem-solving complex issues • Obtaining consensus • Building teams

CHAPTER 5: TYPES OF EXERCISES 38 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

In conjunction with exercise development, workshops are most useful in achieving specific aspects of exercise design such as:

• Determining program or exercise objectives • Developing exercise scenario and key events listings • Determining evaluation elements and standards of performance

A workshop may be used to produce new standard operating procedures (SOPs) or emergency operations plans (EOPs), mutual aid agreements (MAAs), multi-year training and exercise plans (TEPs), and improvement plans (IPs). To be effective, workshops must be highly focused on a specific issue, and the desired outcome or goal must be clearly defined. Potential relevant topics and goals are numerous, but all workshops share the following common attributes:

• Low-stress environment • No-fault forum • Information conveyed employing different instructional techniques • Facilitated, working breakout sessions • Plenary discussions led by a workshop leader • Goals oriented toward an identifiable product • Lack of time constraint from real-time portrayal of events • Effective with both small and large groups

TABLETOP EXERCISES TTXs involve senior staff, elected or appointed officials, or other key personnel in an informal setting, discussing simulated situations. This type of exercise is intended to stimulate discussion of various issues regarding a hypothetical situation. It can be used to assess plans, policies, and procedures or to assess types of systems needed to guide the prevention of, response to, and recovery from a defined incident or emergency. TTXs are typically aimed at facilitating understanding of concepts, identifying strengths and shortfalls, and/or achieving a change in attitude. Participants are encouraged to discuss issues in depth and develop decisions through slow-paced problem solving rather than the rapid, spontaneous decision making that occurs under actual or simulated emergency conditions. In contrast to the scale and cost of operations-based exercises and games, TTXs can be a cost-effective tool when used in conjunction with more complex exercises. The effectiveness of a TTX is derived from the energetic involvement of participants and their assessment of recommended revisions to current policies, procedures, and plans.

TTX methods are divided into two categories: basic and advanced. In a basic TTX, the scene set by the scenario materials remains constant. It describes an event or emergency incident and brings discussion participants up to the simulated present time. Players apply their knowledge and skills to a list of problems presented by the leader/moderator; problems are discussed as a group; and resolution is generally agreed on and summarized by the leader. The exercise controller (also known as the moderator) usually introduces problems one at a time in the form of a written message, simulated telephone call, videotape, or other means. Participants discuss the issues raised by the problem, using appropriate plans and procedures. TTX attributes may include the following:

• Practicing group problem-solving • Familiarizing senior officials with a situation • Familiarizing staff to a new plan or procedure • Conducting a specific case study • Examining personnel contingencies • Testing group message interpretation • Participating in information sharing • Assessing interagency coordination • Achieving limited or specific objectives

OPERATIONS-BASED EXERCISES Operations-based exercises represent the next iteration 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). They can clarify roles and responsibilities, identify gaps in resources needed to implement plans and procedures, and improve individual and team performance. Operations-based exercises are characterized by actual response, mobilization of apparatus and resources, and commitment of personnel, usually over an extended period of time. DRILLS A drill is a coordinated, supervised activity usually used to test a single specific operation or function in a single agency. Drills are commonly used to provide training on new equipment, develop or test new policies or procedures, or practice and maintain current skills. Typical attributes are as follows:

• A narrow focus, measured against established standards • Instant feedback • Realistic environment • Performance in isolation

CHAPTER 5: TYPES OF EXERCISES 40 FLORIDA

2012-2014 MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN for the State of Florida

FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES The FE is designed to test and evaluate individual capabilities, multiple functions or activities within a function, or interdependent groups of functions. FEs generally focus on exercising the plans, policies, procedures, and staffs of the direction and control nodes of Incident Command and Unified Command. Generally, events are projected through an exercise scenario with event updates that drive activity at the management level. Movement of personnel and equipment is simulated. The objective of the FE is to execute specific plans and procedures and apply established policies, plans, and procedures under crisis conditions, within or by particular function teams. An FE simulates the reality of operations in a functional area by presenting complex, realistic problems that require rapid and effective responses by trained personnel in a highly stressful environment. Attributes of an FE are as follows:

• Evaluating functions • Evaluating Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), headquarters, and staff • Reinforcing established policies and procedures • Measuring resource adequacy • Examining inter-agency and inter-jurisdictional relationships

FULL-SCALE EXERCISES The FSE is the most complex step in the exercise cycle. FSEs are multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional exercises that test many facets of emergency response and recovery. They include many first responders operating under the Incident Command System (ICS) and Unified Command structure to effectively and efficiently respond to, and recover from, an incident. An FSE focuses on implementing and analyzing the plans, policies, and procedures developed in discussion-based exercises and honed in previous, smaller, operations-based exercises. The events are projected through a scripted exercise scenario with built-in flexibility to allow updates to drive activity. An FSE is conducted in a real-time, stressful environment that closely mirrors a real incident. First responders and resources are mobilized and deployed to the scene where they conduct their actions as if a real incident had occurred (with minor exceptions). The FSE simulates the reality of operations in multiple functional areas by presenting complex and realistic problems requiring critical thinking, rapid problem solving, and effective responses by trained personnel in a highly stressful environment. Other entities that are not involved in the exercise, but who would be involved in an actual incident response, are represented by a Simulation Cell (SimCell).

An FSE provides an opportunity to execute plans, procedures, and MAAs in response to a simulated incident. Typical FSE attributes are as follows:

• Assessing organizational and functional performance • Demonstrating interagency cooperation • Allocating resources and personnel • Assessing equipment capabilities • Assessing plans and procedures in a simulated incident • Activating personnel and equipment • Assessing inter-jurisdictional cooperation • Exercising public information systems • Testing communications systems and procedures • Analyzing memoranda of understanding (MOUs), SOPs, plans, policies, and procedures

The level of support needed to conduct an FSE is greater than needed during other types of exercises. The exercise site is usually extensive with complex site logistics. Food and water must be supplied to participants and volunteers. Safety issues, including those surrounding the use of props and special effects, must be monitored. FSE controllers ensure that participants’ behavior remains within predefined boundaries. SimCell controllers inject scenario elements to simulate real events and represent non-playing organizations that would be responding in a real-world incident. Evaluators observe behaviors and compare them against established plans, policies, procedures, and standard practices (if applicable). Safety controllers ensure all activity is executed within a safe environment.
