What this lesson covers
This lesson explains how HSEEP organizes emergency exercises: discussion-based versus operations-based types, the planning phases and meetings, SMART objectives, and the hotwash, debrief and After-Action Report. It matters on the exam and on the job because drills are only useful if they are planned, controlled and evaluated.
