Scenario 02
Scenario 02 :
"A scenario provides the backdrop and storyline that drive an exercise. The first step in designing a scenario is determining the type of threat/hazard (e.g., chemical, explosive, cyber, natural disaster) to be used in an exercise. The hazards selected for an exercise should realistically stress the capabilities a jurisdiction is attempting to improve through its exercise programs. A hazard should also be a realistic representation of potential threats faced by the exercising jurisdiction. For discussion-based exercises, a scenario provides the backdrop that drives participant discussion. For operations-based exercises, the scenario should provide background information on the incident catalyst of the exercise. For prevention exercises, the scenario should include the Ground Truth".
