Discussion-based
Explore plans and decisions.
Seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises (TTX), and games help participants examine responsibilities, work through choices, and find gaps together.
Exercise planning, delivery & evaluation
Practice the response.
Strengthen the plan.
Astruvia helps organizations validate plans in a safe learning environment. Our preparedness exercises build workforce confidence, strengthen coordination, and turn lessons into better-prepared communities.
01 / Plan with purpose
An exercise shaped by your objectives.
Together, we choose a realistic scenario and measurable objectives around your needs: healthcare surge, emergency coordination, cyber incidents, or continuity of operations.
We use the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) framework to connect planning, design, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning. The FEMA HSEEP resources describe this approach.
Materials matched to the format
- Situation Manual (SitMan) for discussion-based exercises
- Exercise plans and facilitator, controller, and evaluator guides
- Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs) aligned to objectives
- Participant materials and practical joining instructions
- Invitation templates your team can use for outreach
Operations-based
Put capabilities into practice.
Drills, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises let teams practice procedures and test coordination at the right level of complexity.
Delivery can be virtual, in person, or hybrid, depending on the purpose, participants, and logistics.
02 / Make participation straightforward
Virtual exercises that keep people involved.
For virtual tabletops and distributed discussions, we connect the full group while giving smaller teams room to work.
A shared starting point
A shared briefing introduces the scenario, with an educational component when useful.
Room to work through it
Facilitated breakouts let organizations, regions, or healthcare coalitions work through their decisions.
Bring the learning together
A collective debrief connects findings and identifies priorities that cross team boundaries.
From sign-up to the right room
We configure registration to capture affiliations, roles, and participation needs, with automated confirmations and group assignments. We provide outreach templates and test room routing.
A platform sized for the exercise
We verify platform capacity, breakout capabilities, access controls, and accessibility. Rehearsals, technical moderation, live support, and backup communications support smooth participation.
03 / Bring the right perspective
Preparedness experience. Practical support.
Our approach draws on experience in public health preparedness, healthcare readiness leadership, emergency management instruction, and cybersecurity. We bring these perspectives together around your people, plans, and operating environment.
Relevant expertise
We engage subject matter experts as needed to shape realistic scenarios and support plan validation.
Guided learning
Facilitation creates space to practice decisions, ask questions, and build confidence.
Useful observation
Evaluators connect participant actions and decisions to the exercise objectives.
Coordinated delivery
Planning, logistics, and technical support keep people focused on the exercise.
04 / Turn observations into action
Turn practice into progress.
We agree on milestones and reporting dates, with practical improvements as the goal.
After-Action Report / Improvement Plan
Evaluator observations, immediate debrief (hotwash) feedback, and participant surveys inform an HSEEP-based AAR/IP. Strengths, gaps, and recommendations become corrective actions with owners and target dates, supporting teams and the communities they serve.
- Before
Prepare & coordinate
Shape the scenario, prepare materials and logistics, and orient participants.
- During
Facilitate & observe
Facilitate or control activities, support participants, and capture observations.
- After
Evaluate & improve
Review findings together and document achievable next steps in the AAR/IP.
