social media and public outreach practices through the use of its training tool SimulationDeck.
The secure Web portal replicates online communication tools, including popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as agency websites and blogs.

After participating in numerous exercises, Chesnutt observed a pattern: “In the after-action reports for almost every major exercise I worked on, they said that the public information function was not being tested in a realistic way.

2. Seperate key usages from the grid - one of the things that has happened over the last few decades is that many functions historically NOT on the grid have moved to it - like irrigation systems reliant on electricity
