<br />Although similar to seminars, workshops differ In two Important

<br />Tabletop Exercises (TTX) are intended to generate discussion of various
<br />issues regarding a hypothetical simulated emergency. They can be used
<br />to enhance general awareness, validate plans and procedures, rehearse
<br />concepts, and /or assess the types of systems neededto guide the
