This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to design, develop and/or modify activities that exercise elements of emergency management exercise arrangements. It includes determining exercise purpose by designing and planning exercise activities, assessing exercise risks and then planning resource allocation

Emergency management exercises are used to test emergency plans, practise responding to an emergency, develop and/or practise emergency management skills, build motivation for emergency management personnel and/or measure an organisation’s ability to manage an emergency. An exercise can range from a small activity in a volunteer emergency response unit to a major evacuation exercise for an industrial plant.

The unit applies to personnel with responsibility for designing emergency management exercises. The design skills in this unit can be applied to any context in which an emergency management exercise is appropriate.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
