Joint Exercise

Joint exercises give organisations the opportunity to practise coordination, communication and collaboration between several internal and external parties. The exercises help to strengthen the overall ability to respond when an incident requires effort across organisational boundaries.

From individual plans to a joint effort

Real incidents are rarely handled by one organisation alone. Joint exercises test how different organisations, functions and specialist teams cooperate, share information and coordinate measures under demanding conditions. Through realistic scenarios, the participants gain experience of shared situational awareness, alignment of decisions and the handling of interfaces between parties with different roles and areas of responsibility.

The exercise can include

collaboration between organisations, departments and partners
coordination between emergency management teams and operational functions
notification, escalation and mobilisation across organisations
establishing and sharing a common situational picture
information sharing and lines of communication between parties
crisis communication and media handling
cooperation with emergency services, authorities and other external resources
handling of dependencies, interfaces and shared challenges
testing of plans, agreements and cooperation routines
evaluation of collaboration and identification of improvement measures

What does the organisation get?

The organisation has it verified how cooperation, communication and coordination work in practice when several parties have to handle the same incident. The exercise helps to strengthen relationships, clarify roles and responsibilities, and identify areas for improvement in the cooperation between the parties involved. The result is better emergency preparedness, an increased ability to work together and greater confidence in real incidents.
