Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is both doctrine and policy for designing, eveloping, conducting and evaluating exercises.

HSEEP is a threat and performance-based exercise program that includes a cycle, mix, and range of exercise activities of varying degrees of complexity and interaction.

HSEEP includes a series of four reference manuals to help states and local jurisdictions establish exercise programs and design, develop, conduct, and evaluate exercises:

Volume I: Overview and Doctrine provides requirements and guidance for the establishment and maintenance of an exercise and evaluation program.

Volume II: Exercise Evaluation and Improvement offers proven methodology for evaluating homeland security exercises and implementing an improvement program.

Volume III: Exercise Program Management and Exercise Planning Process helps planners establish an exercise program and outlines a standardized design, development, conduct, and evaluation process adaptable to any type of exercise.

Volume IV: Sample Exercise Documents and Formats, provides sample exercise materials referenced in HSEEP .
