 Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC)
 Catastrophic nature of NMSZ Earthquake
 Large exercise scale: Regions IV, V, VI, and VII plus 8 “CUSEC”
states
 Potential for multiple Emergency Management Assistance Compact
or “EMAC” states, making this a “nationwide” National Level

White House Perspective
 Public Alert and Warning- Local, State, and Private Sector
response should be rapid and effective in order to save lives. This
exercise should evaluate whether the right tools are available and
how well they are being used.
 Resilience for the Government, Critical Infrastructure (CI), and
Key Resources (KR)- This exercise should validate which CI/KR
sectors are the most vulnerable and which are the most important.
 Defense Support for Civil Authorities (DSCA)- The White House is
interested in seeing how quickly DSCA can be provided in a nonotice event, and how competing priorities will impact support.

Scenario Development
Capabilities
Tasks
Using identified priority capabilities
relevant to their jurisdiction,
exercise managers select
capabilities to practice, assess, and
improve through exercises.
Based on selected capabilities,
exercise managers identify critical
UTL tasks to exercise and evaluate.
Objectives
Scenario
Based on capabilities and tasks
being tested, a jurisdiction defines
specific exercise objectives that
reflect its specific needs
circumstances, and goals.
Managers should select a
jurisdiction-specific scenario what
provides an opportunity to test
critical task performance and meet
exercise objectives.
