1. A method performed by one or more computing systems of an incident simulation system for administering an incident exercise based on a simulation of a hazardous material incident, the method comprising:
accessing a simulation plan that defines the incident exercise, the simulation plan specifying a type of the hazardous material and a location and a time of the hazardous material incident within a theater of operation;
receiving an indication of a current environmental condition collected within the theater of operation during the incident exercise, the current environmental condition being collected at a collection location within the theater of operation and at a collection time;
simulating effects of the current environmental condition on the hazardous material based on the collection location and the collection time and the simulation plan;
generating detector information factoring in the simulated effects and a current location of a detector and a current time; and
sending to the detector the generated detector information so that the detector can provide a user interface based on the simulated effects of the current environmental condition on the hazardous material.
