Which statement correctly describes the EAP's frequency for procedural walkthroughs and full exercises?

• A. Quarterly procedural walkthroughs and annual full exercise
• B. Annually
• C. Monthly drills
• D. As needed

Answer: (A)

Maintaining EAP readiness is achieved through regular, structured practice: quarterly procedural walkthroughs to keep everyone familiar with steps, roles, and contacts, and an annual full-scale exercise that tests the entire plan under realistic conditions. The walkthroughs ensure the procedures stay fresh and up to date, while the yearly full exercise validates coordination, communications, and execution across the whole response. Monthly drills would be overly frequent for comprehensive validation and could strain resources, and doing exercises only as needed risks gaps in preparedness. This combination provides ongoing familiarity plus a thorough, annual validation.
