EXERCISE DESIGN & FACILITATION
Drill: A drill is a coordinated, supervised activity usually employed to validate a specific function or capability. Some common examples would be fire, tornado, active shooter or mass/emergency notification system test.
Tabletop Exercise: A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based exercise regarding a hypothetical, simulated emergency. It can be a very basic event or quite complex. Participants apply their knowledge and skills to a list of problems presented by a facilitator, problems are discussed as a group and resolution is reached and documented for later analysis.
Functional Exercise: A functional exercise is designed to have participants actually perform the tasks required in their planning documents. It is conducted in a realistic, real-time environment; however, movement of personnel and equipment is often simulated.
Full-Scale Exercise: Full-scale exercises are typically the most complex and resource-intensive types of exercise. They are intended to mimic a real incident. They involve multiple agencies, organizations and jurisdictions and validate many facets of preparedness. Personnel and resources may be mobilized and deployed to the scene and actions are performed as if the incident were real

RISK/HAZARD VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
TSC staff have done Risk Hazard Vulnerability Assessment.s. TSC can provide risk assessment tools and facilitate the identification of hazards and risk that can affect your organization so that you can determine whether to pursue planning to prevent the hazard from occurring in the first place or mitigating the impacts if it were to occur.
