Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program. Volume 3. Exercise Program Management and Exercise Planning Process

摘要

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Office for Domestic Preparedness (DHS/ODP) implemented the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) to assess and enhance terrorism prevention, response, and recovery capabilities at the Federal, State, and local levels. HSEEP is a threat- and performance-based exercise program that provides doctrine and policy for planning, conducting, and evaluating exercises; it employs a cycle, mix, and range of exercise activities of varying degrees of complexity and interaction. This reference manual reflects the Departments current direction related to exercise programs and requirements and is derived from the National Strategy for Homeland Security, the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Homeland Security Presidential Directives, and other related documents. The National Strategy for Homeland Security directs DHS to develop a National Training and Evaluation System and establish a National Exercise Program (NEP). HSEEP is an essential element of this national program. HSEEP Volume III: Exercise Program Management and Exercise Planning Process assists planners in establishing an exercise program and outlines a standardized planning process adaptable to any type of exercise.
