The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) exercise program was developed to assist in assessing emergency preparedness at the eight continental stockpile storage locations and in the surrounding communities, The evolving CSEPP exercise program has distinct characteristics; however, its development drew upon the experience gained in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program. The CSEPP exercise program shares some characteristics with the REP program, such as the requirement for regularly scheduled objective-driven exercises with structured objective-based evaluations. CSEPP exercises, however, are integrated installation-community exercises with no regulatory basis and use different planning and reporting methods.
