In accordance with the National Continuity Policy, the Guardian Accord Tabletop was designed for Federal, State, territorial, tribal and local government jurisdictions, and the private sector, to increase awareness on the various threats of terrorism. In this workshop, participants will engage in the discussion of specific risks of terrorism into continuity planning. The workshop includes a 1-hour facilitator led discussion, and a 3-hour tabletop, concluding with a hotwash.
Guardian Accord, designed as a modular tabletop, focuses on three different scenarios: Improvised Explosive Device, Anthrax, and the Unraveling Terrorist Threat. This training and workshop is intended to supplement, not replace, existing organizational security and awareness programs pertaining to continuity.
