Tabletop
Exercises...Fire, Search & Rescue
 "Tabletop
exercises improve the critical incident
outcome!"
The right responses during an incident are
developed with effective training before "it
happens."
Command School TTX provides the right
responses with proven tabletop drills that
will challenge, inspire and prepare your
teams for any incident.
Experienced professional facilitators
bring real life incident command training to
you in a dynamic training method. Fire and
smoke simulations are used for fire
situations. Emergency equipment is
dispatched. Radios are used for realistic
communication. Scale model apparatus, police
cars, ambulances, emergency personnel, hose,
and other types of props are used. We use
actual incidents as the basis for the
scenarios.
Simply stated, the more realistically we
practice and rehearse, the more likely we
are to respond when a critical incident
happens. Command School TTX is a leading
nationally recognized developer and
facilitator of emergency preparedness and
response tabletop exercises.
In any of the
all-hazard incidents to which firefighters
respond, they will have to interact and
communicate other response and civilian
disciplines. All first responders have been
tasked with adopting the National Response
Framework (NRF), the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) and Incident Command System
(ICS) to ensure
mutuality in crisis incidents.
The creation and implementation of the
National Incident Management System is
mandated in section 16 of HSPD-5. The NIMS
is intended to "provide a consistent
nationwide approach for federal, state, and
local governments to work effectively and
efficiently together to prepare for, respond
to, and recover from domestic incidents,
regardless of cause, size, or complexity."
The systems have been introduced to assure
seamless command, coordination and
communications among every emergency
constituent.
Importantly, each of the systems recognize
the criticality of community-wide
rehearsals. Each identifies the tabletop
exercise as an excellent, cost-efficient way
to introduce and rehearse the Incident
Command System that will lead to successful
management of critical incidents.
Hands-on response exercising in accordance
with the principles of the Incident Command
System (ICS) and the National Incident
Management System (NIMS) helps achieve a
desired incident outcome.
Command School TTX's facilitators are
incident-tested, cross-discipline
professionals who will help develop the
skills that are applicable to most most
critical incidents.
