A number of reportedly useful tabletop exercises have been conducted. Others are planned or are in the works. This list identifies those AVI is aware of.

• CDC Planning Guide for State and Local Officials Not a simulation, but acts as the “playbook” for most official MTF planning; referred to in many HEICS plans.
• CDC “Meschede Hospital” Smallpox Emergency Informal model for MTF quarantine and isolation measures.
• California Div. Communicable Disease Control: Tabletop-in-a-box Attempts to leverage live satellite broadcast of suspected case updates, lab responses, containment, media communiqués
• World Economic Forum / Booz Allen Hamilton simulation   This EU tabletop initiative drew attention to simulating (1) interruptions in essential services; (2) shutdown of nonessential services, e.g., MTF reprioritization; (3) early stage telecommunications disruptions; (4) workforce impacts; (5) critical roles for the media.
• Harvard School of Public Health Drill to prepare local public health officials in risk communication, surveillance strategy, quarantine, staff utilization and protection, mass prophylaxis, contact tracing, PPE, etc. Includes stage-specific queries, behavioral objectives.
• Thurston County, WA Tabletop Exercise (http://www.medicalreservecorps.gov).
• OSHA Hospital Respiratory Practice Tabletop walkthrough of respiratory protection practices at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center .
• San Diego Viral Outbreak Simulation A large scale simulation staged in September 2006 included a combination of viral outbreak and cyberattack.
• HEICS-X Clark Reynolds developed a NIMS-compliant simulation that includes, e.g., 90 voice mails designed to place a realistic load on an MTF command center. The game could also implement workflow-enabled versions of HEICS Job Action Sheets.
• HHS National Vaccine Program Office This tabletop exercise and the HHS Pandemic Influenza Plan Index provide widely copied HHS guidance on select workflow rules.
• NYC DOHMH Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Plan The NYC plan includes a toolkit with 5 tabletop exercises to allow MTFs to exercise strategies recommended in the Plan.
• Maryland DHMH Tabletop Exercise This 2005 exercise appears to be the only substantive simulation addressing school system/public health coordination.
• University of Illinois at Chicago CADE The Center is developing a series of simulations to address bioterrorism, pandemic flu, smallpox and other disasters.
