Creating impactful Functional Exercises

Join us for a 60-minute webinar dedicated to improving the quality of functional exercises

Do functional exercises provide the value you need?

Functional exercises are essential for testing an organization’s ability to respond to real-world incidents in a controlled environment.

In this one-hour webinar, Mark VanDyke will guide participants through the process of developing functional exercises that replicate the complexities of emergency scenarios, challenge coordination and communication across teams, and activate various response elements.

You’ll learn how to build scenarios that mirror your organization’s unique risks, use injects and disruptions to introduce realistic stressors, and conduct structured evaluations to measure performance and identify areas for improvement. This session is ideal for emergency managers looking to create exercises that go beyond tabletop discussions and truly assess readiness and capability.

Key Takeaways:

  • Build Complex Scenarios: Design scenarios that challenge communication, coordination, and operational response.

  • Inject Realism: Implement injects and disruptions to simulate real-world stressors.

  • Evaluate Performance: Learn how to assess performance and identify areas for improvement.
