The Emergency Preparedness incident Command Simulation (EPiCS) is a computer-based, scenario-driven, high-resolution simulation. It is used by emergency response agencies to train for emergency situations that require multi-echelon and/or interagency communication and coordination. Training and analysis tools allow local, state, and federal agencies to interact under simulated, realistic conditions that exercise decision makeing processes and allows evaluation of emergency response by each agency.
