Tabletop Exercises for a Hurricane
Hurricanes can cause widespread and prolonged disruption, even when organizations believe they are prepared. What begins as a forecasted storm can quickly escalate into a major event that affects employees, facilities, infrastructure, and the broader community. Access to the workplace may be limited, systems may be unavailable, and normal operations may be suspended for an extended period.
These hurricane tabletop exercises are designed to help organizations test how management will respond before, during, and after a major storm event. The focus is on leadership coordination, communications, employee impacts, and business resumption as the situation unfolds.
What This Scenario Tests
- Leadership decision-making during a large-scale weather event
- Preparedness planning versus actual event conditions
- Employee availability and workforce disruption
- Internal and external communications during extended outages
- Coordination across departments during a prolonged disruption
- Business resumption following facility damage and community impact
Each exercise below applies this scenario to a specific industry context, helping teams evaluate how a hurricane would affect their people, facilities, responsibilities, and operational priorities.
