Ready-to-run emergency drill
A damaging earthquake tests immediate protective actions, injury and damage checks, utility decisions, and communications without normal connectivity.
The invitation contains only this public guide URL. Private workspace fields are never included.
Intended audience
Demonstrate protective actions, injury checks, and a safe approach to immediate hazards.
Recognize suspected gas, electrical, water, and structural hazards without taking actions beyond participants' training.
Use redundant methods to exchange status and needs when internet and cellular service are degraded.
Facilitates the sequence and separates exercise play from any real incident.
Prompts injury, fire, utility, and structural-hazard checks without directing untrained response.
Organizes check-ins and records which channels remain available.
Five-stage workflow
Choose objectives, audience, roles, and private facilitator notes.
Release each checked-in scenario update manually when the group is ready.
Record strengths and areas for improvement against the selected objectives.
Capture immediate participant, facilitator, and observer feedback.
Assign corrective actions, owners, target dates, and status.

Facilitator injects, controller notes, expected actions, and evaluation criteria stay inside the private workspace. If a real incident interrupts the exercise, stop play, use the Live Dashboard, and follow official instructions.
HazardNow provides a compact tabletop workflow for small groups. It is not an official HSEEP package, certification, or replacement for local procedures.
