  1. BIO SCENARIO MATRIX (DISCUSSION-BASED) The matrix on the following slide contains a list of variables that will assist the planning team build a exercise scenario involving a biological agent. The following should be determined in sequential order when developing the scenario: 1. Transmissibility. Planning team members should determine if the agent will be contagious (e.g., smallpox) or non-contagious (e.g., anthrax). 2. Lethality. The lethality of the agent will help determine the number of casualties affected in the scenario. This determination should be based on the jurisdiction’s capabilities to respond to a mass casualty situation and planners should be careful not to overwhelm participants during the exercise. 3. Effects. The selection of the agent should also be based on its effects or symptomology that victims will exhibit when exposed. 4. Venue. The selection of the venue should be on the agent identified. For example, if a contagious agent is selected, consideration should be given to placing the source of contamination in an area that does not attract a lot of people - so as not to overwhelm participants with the number of victims that have been exposed to the agent.
