This page left blank intentionally.redundancy between the documents, each document focuses on the M&S techniques that are most significant to the sectors mission and objectives.The CIKR document emphasizes modeling and simulation supporting analysis of systems (e.g., vulnerability, security), whereas the incident management document focuses more on training and exercises.The healthcare systems document addresses M&S for analysis, training, and exercises, but at a more detailed level than the previous two documents.The hazardous material release document focuses on the more physical aspects of M&S associated with explosions, fires, plumes, and the flow of hazardous materials in building ventilation systems, bodies of water, and the soil.The authors recognize that each of the sectors may employ all of the M&S techniques that have been identified in the other documents, but typically to a lesser extent.The authors welcome identification of omissions as well as suggestions for improvements.Please contact the authors directly or submit comments or questions by e-mail to simresponse
