It aligns with and adds to standard guidelines (such as the CIMS Incident Management structure and the Civil Defence (NEMA) Director’s Guidelines for emergency exercises).
Use as a stand-alone document for your own exercise design process, and as the main guiding document for the Historical Emergency Scenario resource series.
