Exercise programming is a permanent activity, involving the construction of a series of coordinated and integrated exercise activities over time. Modified from Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) (FEMA, 2020) Programmes should be reviewed depending on the needs determined within contingency plans. Contingency plan Programme management principles Assign a programme manager responsible for tracking implementation of improvements. Set programme’s objectives (ex: regulation, organization, communications, planning…) Develop plans of exercise and training activities. Maintain cooperation with relevant organizations; Produce a periodic progress report which demonstrates improvements assigned to each organization and how exercises implement improvement actions. Organize administration of resources. General guidelines before planning Ensure that senior managers support and approve the activities. Analysis of needs to lay the foundations for all subsequent development. Set only clear, realistic and measurable objectives. Acknowledge that exercises are made to improve, not to impress. Keep exercises simple and more frequent for faster improvements. Plan complex exercises only when personnel are experienced and once objectives of the more simple are reached. Remember the importance of a successful evaluation: Valid, Authentic, Current, Sufficient and Reliable (VACSR). Take into account changes in staff and equipment since previous exercises. 1.
