During this exercise, key stakeholders gather around a table to discuss and strategize how they would respond to a hypothetical disaster scenario. This exercise allows participants to identify gaps in their plan, refine communication channels, and assess decision-making processes. This exercise is the easiest to set up as it takes the least administrator effort as it is a paper-based exercise.

Simulations can also be conducted (either alone or in conjunction with other exercises) to introduce an element of competitiveness and urgency into disaster...
