Mock drills are a critical component of disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Their primary goals are centered around enhancing safety, improving response capabilities, and testing specific procedures. They are fundamentally about training, validation, and readiness, not about generating revenue. While there are costs associated with conducting drills, and sometimes external consultants might be paid for their services, the core purpose is always to improve an organization's or community's ability to respond to emergencies. Any financial considerations are typically about cost-effectiveness and responsible budgeting for public safety initiatives, not profit-making.
