  3. Exercise Control is responsible for directing participants' actions.
  4. Exercise Control is only involved in post-exercise evaluation, not during the simulation.

    Consider the general characteristics and consequences of droughts.

    1. A drought is always a short-term event with minimal long-term effects on ecosystems.
    2. Arid and semi-arid zones are particularly susceptible to severe droughts.
    3. The primary impact of drought is always an increase in available fresh water resources.
    4. Droughts can precipitate a cascade of other disasters, including food insecurity and widespread famine.

      Which statement accurately reflects how a Tabletop Exercise (TTEx) simulates the environment of uncertainty typical during actual disasters?

      1. The Exercise Controller might deliberately provide contradictory or incomplete information to participants.
      2. Participants are sometimes given an excess of clear and consistent information to prevent any confusion.
      3. TTEx intentionally avoids any elements of surprise to maintain a predictable environment.
