Exercises conducted by States and Urban Areas may be used to fldfrll similar exercise requirements required by other grant programs. Grantees are encouraged to invite representatives /planners involved with other federally- mandated or private exercise activities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to share, at a minimum, the multi -year training and exercise schedule with those departments, agencies, and organizations included in the plan. Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP- funded exercises must be based on the Stam/Urban Area's THIRA. The scenarios used in HSGP-flmded exercises must focus on testing capabilities, must be large enough in scope and size to exercise multiple activities and warrant involvement from multiplejurisdictions and disciplines and non- governmental organizations, and take into account the needs and requirements for individuals with disabilities. Exercise scenarios should align with priorities and capabilities identified in the Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan. Special Event Planning. If a State or Urban Area will be hosting a special event (e.g., Super Bowl, 0-8 Sununu), the special event planning should be considered as a training or exercise activity for the purpose of the Multi -Year Training and Exercise Plan. The State or Urban Area should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training and exercise activities in preparation for those events. States and Urban Areas should also consider exercises at major venues (e.g., arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations, communications, and command and control. Regional Exercises. States should also anticipate participating in at least one Regional Exercise annually. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan.
