Designed for Preparedness Before the Incident
Preparedness begins long before a patient is triaged or an Emergency Operations Center is activated. The Training & Exercise Kit Series provides organizations with tools that help train personnel, test emergency plans, validate command structures, and identify operational gaps before a real-world incident occurs.
Whether preparing for a mass casualty incident, National Special Security Event (NSSE), large sporting event, healthcare coalition exercise, or regional preparedness initiative, these kits help agencies move beyond discussion-based training and into realistic scenario-based exercises.

Training & Exercise Kits for Emergency Preparedness, Exercises & Operational Readiness
The Training & Exercise Kit Series provides organizations with a complete preparedness platform that combines tabletop exercises, digital patient training decks, command training, and operational validation tools. Rather than waiting until an emergency occurs, agencies can use these resources to identify weaknesses, strengthen plans, improve coordination, and build confidence among personnel before an event takes place.
Effective preparedness requires more than policies and procedures. Teams must understand their roles, practice decision-making, communicate across disciplines, and evaluate how plans function under realistic conditions. This series supports those objectives through a combination of hands-on and digital exercise resources.
Supports Multi-Agency Preparedness
Major incidents often involve emergency management, EMS, fire services, law enforcement, hospitals, public health agencies, schools, transportation partners, and private-sector stakeholders. The Training & Exercise Kit Series helps these organizations train together, establish common expectations, and strengthen interoperability before an incident occurs.
Tabletop, Digital & Command Training in One Package
The combination of SimTac City®, Digital Victim Decks, triage training resources, and digital command boards allows agencies to conduct a wide range of exercises, from basic tabletop discussions to complex functional and full-scale exercise planning. Organizations can evaluate patient flow, triage processes, command coordination, resource management, and information sharing using a common training platform.
Supports START & SALT Training Programs
The series is available in both START and SALT configurations, allowing organizations to align training and exercise activities with the triage methodology used by their regional partners and operational response plans.
