L0146: Homeland Security Exercise & Evaluation Program (HSEEP) Event ID Number: L146-021
The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is a capabilities and performance-based exercise program that provides a standardized policy, methodology, and language for designing, developing, conducting and evaluating all exercises. HSEEP also facilitates the creation of self-sustaining, capabilities-based exercise programs by providing tools and resources such as policy and guidance, training, technology and direct support. This blended approach to HSEEP implementation promotes exercise expertise while advancing a standardized means of assessing and improving preparedness across the nation. The HSEEP course is a two day, intermediate-level training that incorporates exercise guidance and best practices. It is an interactive course that allows participants to share personal lessons learned and best practices while gaining practical experience. In addition to the instructor-led course presentations, the course includes small group activities, videos, group discussions, and introductions to HSEEP and related initiatives such as supporting technology (HSEEP Toolkit) and capabilities-based planning. Activities include creating exercise documentation, conducting planning conferences and briefings, and practicing exercise evaluation.
