Course: V - 0008 - Virtual Tabletop Exercise Series (VTTX) -- Rail Hazardous Materials Incident Focus

Virtual Exercise - Multiple Locations April 24, 2013

"This exercise is the eighth in a series of 12 Virtual Tabletop Exercises (VTTX) that will be offered monthly by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). The VTTX involves key personnel discussing simulated scenarios in an informal setting, and can be used to assess plans, policies, training and procedures. This VTTX differs from other Tabletop exercises in that it will be conducted using Video - Teleconference (VTC) technology, and is intended to provide an opportunity for responders across the nation to simultaneously participate in a hazard - specific facilitated discussion. Lead facilitation for the exercise will be coordinated by EMI, with local facilitation provided by the participating agency. This format will allow the common delivery of exercise materials, scenarios, modules and discussion questions among those participating in the exercise. New to the VTTX program is the addition of an After - Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) template for completion by the participating organization."
