As you continue to refine your planning, a Table Top Exercise has been scheduled to test how your plan would perform should an actual emergency be deemed in Pershing County.
WHAT IS A TTX?
A table top exercise (often referred to as TTX) is a training tool that simulates emergency situations in an informal environment and are an integral part of proper emergency preparedness.
These TTX training opportunities are conducted in low risk and low stress environment in a way that allows your department team members to get familiar with their responsibilities, procedures and processes should it become necessary to respond to an emergency in your community.
