Special Event Planning. If a state or Urban Area will be hosting a special event (e.g., Super Bowl, G-8 Summit), the special event planning should be considered as a training or exercise activity for the purpose of the multi-year TEP. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the Multi-year TEP. The state or Urban Area may plan to use HSGP 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.
Special Event Planning. If a Urban Area will be hosting an upcoming special event (e.g., Super Bowl, G-8 Summit); they anticipate participating in a Tier 2 National-Level Exercise as defined by the National Exercise Program Implementation Plan (NEP I-Plan); or they anticipate that they will apply to be a venue for a Tier 1 National-Level Exercise, as defined by the I-Plan, they should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training and exercise activities in preparation for that event.

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. Exercise Evaluation. All exercises will be performance-based and evaluated. An After-Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) must be prepared and submitted to FDEM, following every exercise, regardless of type or scope. AAR/IPs must conform to the HSEEP format, should capture objective data pertaining to exercise conduct, and must be developed based on information gathered through Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs) found in HSEEP Volume IV. All applicants are encouraged to use the Lessons Learned Information Sharing System (XXXX.xxx) as a source for lessons learned and to exchange best practices.
