• Realistic scenarios are crucial for effective DMEx. By basing them on the specific Hazard Vulnerability Risk Analysis (HVRA) of a district or state, the exercises become highly relevant and meaningful. This localized approach ensures that both the community and stakeholders can relate to the simulated events, leading to a more impactful learning experience and better preparedness for real-life emergencies. HVRA involves identifying potential hazards, assessing vulnerability, and analyzing the risks to a specific area.
