The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is primarily designed for the homeland security environment, providing a standardized approach for planning, conducting, and evaluating exercises. However, its principles and methodologies can be adapted for use in other sectors, such as emergency management, public health, and law enforcement. While HSEEP is not exclusive to homeland security, its focus and guidelines are tailored to enhance preparedness in that specific context.
The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program or HSEEP is available to all stakeholders of the whole community. The Whole Community is the nation and stakeholders are government agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), businesses and other organizations. HSEEP is available for use by anyone interested in using it. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides numerous resources, documents and templates at your disposal on their official websites. HSEEP is a great program that aligns this nation better with the National Preparedness Goal - you should use it if you have a need for it.

The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) provides a framework for exercise design, development, conduct, and evaluation, offering general guidance for organizations to follow. However, it does not establish a national standard for exercises, allowing flexibility for jurisdictions to tailor exercises to their specific needs and contexts.
The name of the program that provides a standardized means of assessing and improving preparedness across the Nation is HSEEP.
