LEPC =Local Emergency Planning Committee. Almost every county has some form of this. They coordinate different response agencies in case of large scale disasters. These types of exercises go on somewhere in the country almost every week. I'm not saying they never proceed a FF event, just that they usually don't and they are exactly what they are claimed to be. The reason for getting outside people as role players is so they won't be coworkers of the first responders who work for the agencies involved in the exercise so hopefully a more accurate evaluation can be made.
