Toolkit Description:

Emergencies – especially large-scale disasters – are rarely straightforward. Exercising provides an opportunity to collaborate and find solutions to address those inevitable, unexpected consequences of emergencies.

 

Recognizing the importance of preparing for emergencies, the American Public Power Association has created a tabletop exercise toolkit for its members.Newly updated in 2019, the Public Power Tabletop Exercise in a Box has everything you need to conduct a tabletop exercise, including guidance on preparing for the exercise, facilitating the exercise, and conducting a post-exercise debrief.
