Tornado Tabletop Exercise

Planning, testing, and preparing are critical in keeping your workforce safe and remaining your business lights on. Maintaining or quickly restoring business operations and other processes after an earthquake depend on how developed a company’s culture of preparedness is. Also, whether its management plans in advance and how it communicates with external partners. Everyone has a role in preparing for a disaster. All employers and organizations are fundamental elements of the community and can others to be more prepared.

Here’s a piece of brief advice on how to successfully run a tabletop exercise, no matter the threat.

Before a tabletop exercise

Choose a realistic scenario for your locations, confirm roles, gather your emergency response and business continuity plans, and set clear objectives and time limits for decisions.

During a tabletop exercise

Walk from watch to warning to impact to early recovery. Practice alerts, shelter in place, headcount, backup power, vendor coordination, remote access, and status updates.

After a tabletop exercise

Debrief as a team, capture what worked and what did not, assign owners to close gaps, and update plans so the next storm has less impact.
