  • Should an area of weakness be found during the planning process, modules should be tested and corrective actions developed to ensure familiarity with activation and recovery procedures as well as the testing, training, and exercise needs of school personnel.
  • Test: Confirm whether or not procedures, processes, and systems function as intended
  • Train: Ensure that all personnel know what to do, how to do it, and when it should be done
  • Exercise: provide practice and verification of whether parts of the plan or the entire plan works as intended
