Develop and Conduct a Water Resilience Tabletop Exercise with Water Utilities

Overview

The Tabletop Exercise Tool for Drinking Water and Wastewater Utilities (TTX Tool) provides users with the resources to plan, conduct and evaluate tabletop exercises that focus on Water Sector-related incidents and challenges. 

The TTX Tool web application has been updated in November 2024 and now contains 15 all-hazards scenarios (e.g., natural disasters, man-made incidents) related to emergency preparedness and response. Two new TTX scenarios include Wildfire and Supply Chain Disruption/Emergency Drinking Water Supply. Each scenario has: 

  • Fully-customizable situation manuals and after action reports
  • Discussion questions 
  • PowerPoint presentations

All of these tabletop exercise materials can be modified to meet your specific needs. 

System requirements

To run the TTX Tool, an internet connection and standard web browser is required, such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari.
