Activity A Tabletop Exercise Objectives
Tabletop exercises are intended to:1. Provide responders an opportunity to
demonstrate TIM competencies2. Help responders better understand
other disciplines3. Promote communication and interaction
among disciplines

Safety PrioritiesInitial Responder Vehicle Positioning Consideration
• Block Involved Lanes• Identify Closest Moving Traffic• Report Arrival, Establish
Command• Identify Approach Speed and
Traffic Volume• Identify Sight Distance or
Stopping Distance Considerations
• Identify Advance Warning Requirements
Checklist of Responder Actions
• Safe Position Responder Vehicle• Report Arrival, Windshield Size-Up• Don PPE and Safely Exit Vehicle• Consider Quick Clearance
Implementation– Move It or Work It
• Request Required Responders• Establish Unified Command
– Establish Traffic Management Plan– Agree on Clearance Procedures
• Estimate Clearance Time and Provide Update
• Restore Traffic Flow– Progressive Opening of Lanes

Activity A Tabletop Exercise Ground Rules
• Responders should assume the identity of a different discipline
• Specified arrival order must be followed• Type of responder vehicle is not as
important as the discipline it represents• Don’t over complicate the scenario• Work together and have fun!
