Levels of maturity of table-top exercise: Problem formulation, other steps in execution, performance metrics and measurement of readiness will differ for each.Discovery: Before expectations exist for behavior, a tabletop exercise conducted more nearly like a role-playing game is very useful for exposing candidate responses and raising awareness of issues.Evaluation/Validation: After some candidate expectations for appropriate response have been exposed, tabletop exercises can be useful to evaluate proposals, compare alternatives and expose remaining gaps and issues.Training: When sufficient portions of a Disaster Response Plan have been identified, articulated and validated by such simulation, it is reasonable to train the workforce to be proficient in the elected expectation for behavior.Monitoring and Adaptation: Finally, at ultimate maturity, refined by training data and simulation runs, connected

15 explanatory variables (from that, 6 were quantitative and 9 represents background information for each responder e.g. interaction between levels and departments). Response variable is the quarantine strategy (QS) in no intervention (QS1) to moderate (QS3) to extreme (QS5) intervention (quarantine) responses.
