Assumptions
Assumptions and artificialities may be necessary to complete play in the time allotted. During
this exercise, the following apply:
• The scenario is plausible, and events occur as they are presented.

• Everyone receives information at the same time.
• Local exercise players will concentrate on the local response, assuming that federal
and state responders have their own plans, procedures, and protocols in place and
operating.

Simulations and Artificialities
Fill in the mechanisms used to artificially simulate events, activities, or actions within the sce-
nario to allow for further exercise response.

Rules of Conduct and Safety Information
This should include vitally important information that provides for the safe conduct and pro-
tection of all persons involved in the exercise. Include mechanisms for initiating and discon-
tinuing the exercise.Also include the mechanism for responding to actual emergencies or
accidents should they occur during the implementation of an exercise. In addition, it should
include the following information for exercise players:
• Respond based on your own knowledge and training of your LPHA’s current
plans and capabilities; use only existing assets.
• Make decisions based on the circumstances presented.

• Assume the cooperation and support of other exercise players/responders and
agencies.
• The written material (including simulations or injects provided by the controller)
should serve as the basis for discussion.
