Simulation Exercise

Simulation exercises are dynamic, scenario-based exercises in which events develop along the way and demand assessments, priorities and decisions in real time. The exercise gives the participants experience of handling complex situations in a way that resembles a real incident.

From scenario to active incident management

In a simulation exercise, the participants continuously receive information, events and challenges that affect how the scenario develops. The participants must analyse the situation, assess measures, coordinate efforts and make decisions under time pressure. The exercise tests plans, work processes and collaboration alike, while providing valuable training in crisis management and operational response.

The exercise can include

handling of a realistic and dynamic sequence of events
establishing and updating the situational picture
decision-making under time pressure and uncertainty
notification, escalation and mobilisation of resources
crisis management and coordination of efforts
internal and external communication
collaboration between different roles, functions and parties
handling of media enquiries and reputational challenges
use of emergency preparedness plans, action cards and operational tools
evaluation of decisions, work processes and collaboration

What does the organisation get?

The organisation has the emergency preparedness organisation's ability to handle a complex and evolving sequence of events tested. The exercise strengthens decision-making ability, situational awareness and collaboration under realistic conditions, while uncovering areas for improvement in plans, routines and organisation. The result is increased robustness and greater confidence in the handling of real incidents.
