Emergency Exercises - A Look in the Mirror for Gas Utilities

Short of an actual emergency event, testing or “exercising” emergency response capabilities is the only way a company can determine whether personnel are capable of effectively responding to an emergency.

This program is designed to assist gas operators in planning and implementing emergency exercises. It consists of a video that documents an actual exercise along with a step-by-step guide that includes:

• Planning and conducting an initial exercise
• Improving the methodologies of existing programs
• Testing the organization’s emergency response and management capabilities
• Testing the response actions of external organizations
• Determining the company’s emergency preparedness
• Creating annual exercise scenarios built on the lessons learned from previous exercises
• Improving the skills of employees who are directly and indirectly involved in emergency response
• Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of emergency response procedures before a “real” event occurs
