Internal drills test specific department and/or hospital responses (e.g., setting up and operating the command center; recognizing a biological event both in the emer-gency department and on the units; lockdown of the hospital entrances; simulating decontamina-tion processes; operating using downtime procedures during a communications or cyber disaster event; handling various surge capacity situations).
