A complex emergency tabletop exercise simulates a high-impact crisis, requiring participants to discuss and strategize responses to hypothetical scenarios. These exercises are valuable for testing emergency plans, identifying gaps, and improving communication and decision-making during a real emergency.

• Be a player at the table.
• Know your playbook.
• Join the tabletop huddle - be part of the team.
