Table Top Exercise
Goal: To Raise Awareness of the impact of an influenza pandemic(1 day)
Buy-in at high levelIdentification of keypreparedness elementsIdentification of areasrequired to support national preparedness
e.g.: PIC TTX
Success= High-level participationGaps & follow-up Actions identified
Goal: To Test the Plan (conceptually / logically)(1-2 day)
Does the plan make sense? Are there gaps? Clear up misunderstandings
e.g.: UNCT simulation
Success= Participants werefamiliar with the plan Plan held up during test
Goal: To Test Systems & SOPs(1/2 day)
Test the SOPs Test the Phone tree Can the staff / systems perform as trained/planned?
Success= Key systems work Key staff can use them
Joint Exercise
Goal:To Test Multi-ActorCoherence(5+ days)
Full-scale, Multi-actor Dress Rehearsal
Success= SOPs are fully understood and carried out

The TTX Scenario
Confusion, confirmation and containment
Initial confused reports of respiratory illness.
Government commences a containment operation.
Confirmation of a novel highly pathogenic virus with human to human transmission.
Area AffectedLimited to regional non bordering country
Virus spreads
Containment operation fails to prevent a rapid spread of the virus.
Commencement of border controls and travel restrictions.
Disruption to many essential services
Area AffectedSpreads through the region and reaches your country
Pandemic
Virus spreads throughout your country.
Continuation of operations affected by lack of staff and disruption to public services.
Increase in mortality rate.
Humanitarian crisis.
Area AffectedGlobal pandemic with varying degrees of severity by region

TTX Simulation Process• Participatory approach involving senior level officials
and key staff
• Forum to discuss and examine simulatedemergency situations to test assumptions and arrangements of an emergency plan and identify gaps
• Time scale is usually few hours
• Table-top guided by simulated series of events

Planning elements
PIC / OCHA
• Organisational Structure – modes of operation to be used during the various stages of pandemic including the command and control and mechanisms for internal coordination.
• Triggers – identification of triggers, policies and actions to be taken based on the agreed organisational structure.
• Continuity of operations – prioritisation of essential programmes to be continued and identification of the requirements / resources needed to ensure this continuity.
• Staff health and safety – measures to be considered in order to ensure staff are able to continue to provide essential services.
• Support to National Government – assistance to national planning and preparedness and identification and planning for possible additional support during pandemic
• External communications – determine the protocols and messages for external communications

TTX Simulation Objectives
• Raise the level of awareness of an influenza pandemic and the impact that it might have on staff health / safety and continuity of business.
• Understand through the use of scenarios the key requirements for preparedness measures to ensure health / safety of staff and continuity of essential services during pandemic.
• Plan for addition possible additional requirements to support national pandemic preparedness actions.
