“Tabletop exercises
improve the critical incident outcome!”

Honest critiquing will illuminate those areas which are in need of further revision or retraining."

HICS also encourages the adoption of the tabletop exercise as a drill intended to demonstrate the working and communication relationships of the functions found within the HEICS. Organizational plan.
