Exercise Services (HSEEP)

Exercises should do more than meet requirements—they should prepare people to lead under pressure. At RSI, we design and deliver experiences that build confidence, test systems, and strengthen the teams who make response possible.

Our Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) services are built to challenge assumptions, sharpen coordination, and uncover actionable insights across public health, healthcare, emergency management, and beyond.

From tabletop discussions to complex full-scale events, RSI creates exercises that feel real, reflect the challenges you face, and leave participants more connected and prepared.

RSI’s HSEEP services are built to do more than meet requirements—they’re designed to build capacity, uncover gaps, and drive measurable improvement.

We work side by side with coalitions, agencies, and hospitals to design exercises that reflect local dynamics, community needs, and operational realities.

Our team isn’t just made up of planners—we’re practitioners who have lived through disasters and know how systems hold up under pressure.

That lived experience shapes every scenario, every inject, and every after-action insight we deliver.

Our HSEEP Offerings Include

Scalable exercises—from workshops to full-scale events—aligned with HSEEP methodology and your objectives

Inclusive design that integrates local hazards, equity considerations, and operational roles.

Tailored evaluation guides, observation tools, and real-time feedback mechanisms for meaningful analysis.

Clear, actionable reports that meet grant compliance and guide continuous improvement.

Mapping performance to national core capabilities so organizations can measure progress against preparedness goals.

Exercise Types We Offer (HSEEP-Defined)

Type Category Purpose Ideal Use Case
Seminar Discussion-Based Informal sessions to orient participants to new or updated plans, policies, or procedures Introduction of new protocols or SOPs
Workshop Discussion-Based Collaborative sessions to develop specific products, like plans or strategies Drafting emergency operations plans, training strategies
Tabletop Exercise (TTX) Discussion-Based Scenario-based discussions to assess plans, policies, and coordination Coalition coordination, policy review, and decision-making practice
Game Discussion-Based Competitive or structured simulations to reinforce training and stimulate team-building Training enhancement, role-based scenarios
Drill Operations-Based Supervised activity to test a single, specific operation or function Testing decon procedures, communication protocols
Functional Exercise (FE) Operations-Based Simulated operations to evaluate multiple functions or capabilities, often without full-scale deployment EOC activation, hospital surge, multi-agency coordination
Full-Scale Exercise (FSE) Operations-Based Complex, multi-jurisdictional simulations with real-time movement of personnel and resources Regional disaster response, mass casualty incidents, evacuation operations

Sample Exercises We’ve Delivered & Can Design

Our team has facilitated exercises across diverse threats, hazards, and operational settings. A selection of past and potential scenarios includes:

Hospital Evacuation Exercises – testing patient movement, continuity of care, and coordination under pressure.

Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Validation – ensuring all-hazards plans function as designed.

Mass Care & Sheltering – preparing for general population and medical shelter operations.

Mass Triage & EMS Surge – full-scale casualty management and EMS resource allocation.

Airport ARV Full-Scale Exercise – multi-agency response to aviation and mass casualty scenarios.

DMAT Team Full-Scale Exercises – deploying disaster medical assistance teams in complex environments.

Active Shooter Exercises – integrating hospitals, EMS, and law enforcement in high-stress scenarios.

Pandemic & Infectious Disease Response – POD operations, vaccine distribution, isolation, and surge testing.

Cybersecurity / IT Failure Scenarios – simulating ransomware, EHR downtime, and communications blackouts.

Hazmat / CBRNE Incidents – chemical spills, radiological exposure, or biological release events.

Natural Disasters – tornado, flood, wildfire, or hurricane response and recovery.

Continuity of Operations (COOP) – leadership succession, remote operations, and essential function continuity.

Behavioral Health & Family Assistance – stress management, reunification, and behavioral health surge planning.

Transportation / Mass Transit Events – bus crashes, train derailments, or school transportation emergencies.

Supply Chain Disruption – testing contingency planning for medical supply, pharmaceutical, or fuel shortages.

Special Populations – pediatric surge (including RSI’s proprietary PBDLS program), geriatric care, and access/functional needs in disasters.

Multi-Jurisdictional / Cross-Sector Coordination – bringing hospitals, EMS, public health, and emergency management together in regional simulations.

This list is just a snapshot—RSI tailors every exercise to the hazards, systems, and communities we serve.

Every RSI-led exercise is more than a drill—it’s a chance to build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and prepare for the moments that matter most. Let’s work together to turn lessons into leadership and readiness into real-world resilience.
