  • Requires the scenario in the exercise to involve a terrorist attack causing cascading effects on critical infrastructure (i.e., systems and assets of vital importance to national security, public health, or safety) and address how public and private entities can coordinate to mitigate such effects and bolster community resilience (Sec. 2).

  • Requires DHS to submit to Congress an after-action report including the initial findings of the exercise, plans for incorporating lessons learned into future operations, and any proposed legislative changes within 60 days after completion of the exercise (Sec. 2).
