Emergencies

Exercise diary

To help improve the response of the council to emergencies and how we coordinate with other agencies we organise and take part in exercises which test the plans we have developed.

There are several different types of exercise that we use to test plans:

A tabletop exercise works by giving people the opportunity to sit down and be presented with an emergency which they have to work through
A live exercise involves physical activity and actual testing of procedures put in place

Lots of different organisations are involved because any response to an emergency will need them to work together.
