EXHIBIT B <br />COSTS — TRAINING CLASSES AND EXERCISES <br />EXERCISES <br />A) Discussion -Based Exercises - focus on strategic, policy -oriented issues; facilitators and/or <br />presenters usually lead the discussion, keeping participants on track towards meeting exercise <br />objectives. (*Note: Estimated costs are example costs only and depict a range that an <br />exercise may,fall within. Actual costs can vary and is dependent on the size, scope, and <br />variables involved with a particular exercise) <br />Exercise Type <br />Description <br />Variables <br />Rangeor <br />Cost <br />(Estimated) <br />Seminar <br />Seminars generally orient participants to, or <br />Participants <br />$25,000 <br />provide an overview of, authorities, strategies, <br />(30), <br />plans, policies, procedures, protocols, <br />Facilitation, <br />resources, concepts, and ideas. Seminars can <br />Hours, <br />be valuable for entities that are developing or <br />Materials, <br />malting major changes to existing plans or <br />Location <br />procedures. <br />Workshop <br />Although similar to seminars, workshops differ <br />Participants <br />$25,000 <br />in two important aspects: 1. participant <br />(30), <br />interaction is increased, and 2. focus is placed <br />Facilitation, <br />on achieving or building a product. To be <br />Hours, <br />effective, workshops should have clearly <br />Materials, <br />defined objectives, products, or goals, and <br />Location, <br />should focus on a specific issue. <br />Plans <br />Tabletop <br />Tabletop Exercises (TTX) are intended to generate <br />Participants <br />$35,000 <br />discussion of various issues regarding a hypothetical <br />(30), <br />simulated emergency. They can be used to enhance <br />Facilitation, <br />general awareness, validate plans and procedures, <br />Hours <br />rehearse concepts, and/or assess the types of systems <br />Materials, <br />needed to guide the prevention of, protection from, <br />Location, <br />mitigation of, response to, and recovery from a <br />Reporting/Plans <br />defined incident. The effectiveness of a TTX is <br />derived from the energetic involvement of <br />participants and their assessment of reconnnended <br />revisions to current policies, procedures, and plans; <br />therefore facilitatiosl is critical to keeping participants <br />focused on exercise objectives. <br />
