Overview
Planning, testing, and preparation keep people safe and operations running. This exercise walks your team through a realistic wildfire scenario so you can evaluate how you monitor threats, communicate with staff and vendors, protect critical processes, and decide when to shift to remote operations. You will be able to identify gaps, clarify roles, and capture action items for improvement.
Before a tabletop exercise
Choose locations that face wildfire risk, confirm roles like incident manager and moderator, gather BCPs, contact lists, and playbooks, and set clear objectives and time limits for decisions.During a tabletop exercise
Walk through timed injects like county alerts, fire movement toward your site, evacuation warnings within 30 miles, school closures, and media or customer inquiries. Decide when to relocate work, how to notify staff, and what to prioritize for continuity.After a tabletop exercise
Debrief as a team, capture what worked and what did not, assign owners to close gaps, and update plans so future wildfires have less impact.
