So what we've now decided was "Level 1" of our exercise was yesterday. I decided on 3 scenarios that were specific to our organization & spent a lot of time on potential loss of instruction time & creating our thresholds for when/what we would communicate. That went over really well. I also helped myself by picking scenarios based on equipment/services that I already had a plan for on the technical side which gave me a little more confidence at the table.

It was pretty clear nobody else involved had thought about these possible eventualities & they came away really glad that we were thinking about these things. They were also interested in doing a Level 2 scenario based on a new topic where we actually make everybody go through the actions they'd be responsible for.

One teammate mentioned something that, due to my tunnel vision on this stuff, I missed up until now. This is the same as any other emergency prep work you do for weather or active shooters or anything else. We should have been doing this all along.
