Hello,

I need to write an answer to this question, and below are the details, the requirements, and more information.

Also, I need to reply to my classmate’s post, which I have already attached to the attachments.

Assigned Reading:

• HSEEP Guidebook :
• 1-1 to 1-2 HSEEP Fundamentals
• 2-1 to 2-12 Program Management
• 3-1 to 3-7 Exercise Foundation, Planning Activities, Planning Team Considerations

• Principles of Emergency Management and Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) Textbook
• Pg 159-165 Exercises and AAR’s in Emergency Management
• Pg 171 Exercise Documentation
• Pg 173-174 Final Comments on Exercises

• FEMA Exercise Simulation System Document (ESSD)
• https://training.fema.gov/programs/essd/curriculum/1.html

After reading the assigned documents, please discuss the question of “Why do disaster exercises?”

Consider why disaster exercises are important and why they are required in so many different grants, standards, and procedures.

Expectations:

You should consider these reflective discussion questions as an opportunity to explore, deeply, the material presented in the text. As a developing Emergency Manager, in a graduate program, the post should be more than a “narrative” (who, what, when, where) high school treatment, and more of an “analytical” (why, how, why not, what if) and evaluative (so what, what’s next) post.

• Try the SEE-I method.
• State the author’s premise
• Elaborate the material in your own words (paraphrase)
• Exemplify your analysis with a description of how the material works.
• Illustrate an application in Emergency Management.
• Strive to be Clear, Accurate, Precise, and Relevant to begin with.
• Typical reflections are usually at least 350 words

Please find the attachments and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.
