National Exercise Program Would Test Crisis Response
On January 26, 2007, the Deputies Committee of the National Security Council approved the establishment of a National Exercise Program (NEP) that would conduct management exercises to help senior government officials prepare for national crises from terrorism to natural disasters.
In a briefing last month (pdf), the Department of Homeland Security presented a proposed Five Year Schedule for the NEP.
Proposed exercises would model government responses to a nuclear weapons accident, pandemic influenza, Olympic terrorism, IED and MANPADS attacks, and other emergency scenarios.
Cabinet officers and other senior officials would be required to participate in five such exercises annually.
