Rules for Players

·         Relax…this is a no-fault, low-stress exercise

·         Respond based on your current capability

·         Feel free to improvise 

Purpose

This scenario will consist of an exercise during which members of the Crisis Management Team (CMT) will be challenged to determine the actions you would take for a specific disaster scenario. Our test disaster in Scenario Two consists of a power outage due to a hurricane. You will walk through the actions you would take per our disaster recovery plan.  The objective of this exercise is to assess the viability of the plan, find flaws and missions and improve the plan. It also educates staff and recovery team members about the plan strategies, limitations and assumptions. 

Scenario

In this scenario, on a Sunday morning, a hurricane that was predicted to travel east and north suddenly shifts west for a direct hit to the area. With little official warning, it goes from a Category 2 to Category 4 in the hours while people are arriving and leaving for church. Given the ferocity of the storm, you must decide if you will shelter in place or let parishioners go home. Conduct the exercise based on which you choose.

Crisis Management Testing

This crisis management testing exercise process works to establish a clear procedure is available if we have to escalate from an incident response to full crisis management. This exercise helps to train crisis team members are trained in their role so they know what to do if the CMT is activated. The CMT must manage the details of the crisis situation so that it has minimum impact of business operations. At the end of the exercise, we will have a better idea of what measures need to be in place for all critical objects and assets. This will guarantee continuity of processes in an acceptable time after a crisis.
