Exercises are activities that consider or simulate a real-life situation. They ensure an agency can review or test procedures. And they ensure participants can practice in defined roles. Real-life events do not happen that often. Exercising is a good way to measure the effectiveness of plans. They let staff practice their skills in a simulated emergency environment.

Emi (meaning to be assembled; gathered together) is a tool used by emergency management agencies in New Zealand to collaborate and share information before, during and after an emergency.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, staff at NEMA's Monitoring, Alerting and Reporting (MAR) Centre monitor, assess and report on potential hazards. When there is an emergency, the Centre will provide situational awareness so that NEMA or other agencies can respond – and, where necessary, alert the public about threats to life or property.
Science advice panels provide authoritative and efficient science advice across all 4Rs. The panels are convened by the Director of Civil Defence Emergency Management. But science advice panels benefit the whole emergency management system.
