Plan. Wargame. Adjust Plan.

ACTIVATE™.

Are your Critical Incident Plans going to survive your next real-world incident?

Our Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)-aligned course will put you and your agency’s staff in the driver’s seat of a mock critical incident with the stakeholders in your community.

With most other tabletop groups charging in excess of $50,000 a year, and requiring membership, we provide this incredible opportunity without breaking the bank.

ICS Understanding and Execution

Does your staff know the duties and responsibilities of the positions in the ICS? What happens when the person that is supposed to be the “Logistics Chief” during your critical incident is out of the country on vacation?

ACTIVATE™ brings whole-picture awareness into the ICS structure for your personnel to experience. By attending one of our tabletop exercise sessions, students will be immersed into a critical incident and will serve in ICS positions.

We are certified in HSEEP exercise protocols and align our exercises with this doctrine.

We can test your critical incident plans in one of two ways:

We pick a random location and event type in your municipality and tell you which stakeholders to have present,

OR

Your agency picks the location of the critical incident desired and brings the relevant stakeholders.

In either of these cases, we stress your critical incident response plans to identify friction points that need adjusting.

Enhance your understanding and execution of ICS.

During your tabletop,, your plans can be subjected to any of the following scenarios:

  • Active shooter in a school

  • Active shooter in an outdoor setting

  • Active shooter in a place of commerce

  • Chemical Tanker Breach

  • Large fire with casualties

  • Industrial Explosion

  • Airplane Crash

  • Building Collapse

  • Barricaded Subject

  • Hostage Situation

Course:

We pick the location, incident type, and stakeholders=$750/person

You pick the location, incident type, and stakeholders=$850/person
