Bring the exclusive Command School
tabletop simulator into your training program. Abbottville has scores of buildings and scalable layouts - suburban, rural, industrial, urban, high rise buildings, airports, schools, shopping malls, industrial facilities
or special hazard displays.

Experienced professional facilitators
bring real life incident command training to you in a dynamic training method. Fire and smoke simulations are used for fire situations. Emergency equipment is dispatched. Radios are used for realistic communication. Scale model apparatus, police cars, ambulances, emergency personnel, hose, and other types of props are used. We use actual incidents as the basis for the scenarios.

Simply stated, the more realistically we practice and rehearse, the more likely we are to respond when a critical incident happens. Command School TTX is a leading nationally recognized developer and facilitator of emergency preparedness and response tabletop exercises.

training and equipment. "The key is to be heavy on training and
exercises," says Cilluffo, now director of George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute. In any of the all-hazard incidents to which firefighters respond, they will have to interact and communicate other response and civilian disciplines. All first responders have been tasked with adopting the National Response Plan (NRP), the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) to ensure
mutuality in crisis incidents.

The creation and implementation of the National Incident Management System is mandated in section 16 of HSPD-5. The NIMS is intended to “provide a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, and local governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity.”
 The systems have been introduced to assure seamless command, coordination and communications among every emergency constituent.

Importantly, each of the systems recognize the criticality of community-wide rehearsals. Each identifies the tabletop exercise as an excellent, cost-efficient way to introduce and rehearse the Incident Command System that will lead to successful management of critical incidents.

Hands-on response exercising in accordance with the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) helps achieve a desired incident outcome.

Command School TTX’s facilitators are incident-tested, cross-discipline professionals who will help develop the skills that are applicable to most most critical incidents.
