Exercises/demonstrations will be based on the actual movement of live samples and use of specialized laboratory facilities at disparate locations. It is anticipated that several partner organizations will be involved, such as FDA, OSDHA and OTSG, with more being identified as the scenario is developed. Preparative aspects of the work will include: -Overall planning, coordination and execution of multiple exercises/demonstrations; -Establishment of memorandums of understanding; -Scenario and metric development; -Work process and communication plan outlined and documented; -Production or acquisition of material needed for exercises/demonstrations, and -Functional rehearsal of all components.
