  1. Social media functional Exercise Participant Briefing – July 27, 2012

  2. Administrative Tasks • Welcome • Food & Beverage • Bathrooms • Sign in/Sign Out • Parking Information • Emergency Exits • Injury, Illness, or Real Emergency

  3. Exercise Safety • A safety officer is responsible for participant safety • Immediately report safety concerns, unsafe acts or conditions, injuries and/or accidents to the nearest controller • Stop activity if situation appears unsafe • Real world emergencies take priority over exercise • “CODE RED” is the designated phrase that indicates there is a real emergency.

  4. Exercise Fundamentals • This is a No-Fault exercise. • There is no single right response to scenario events, and open discussion is encouraged. • Systems and processes, not individuals, will be evaluated. • Exercise play will run with no planned breaks. Meals and breaks will occur as if this were a real incident. • Please do not ad lib or fight the scenario • Do not use texts or email to resolve exercise injects. • Exercise time and real time are the same. • There are no “hidden agendas.” • Actions must be documented • Use only resources you actually have (Simulation Deck)

  5. Lucas County • Emergency Management • Public Health • HazMat • State of Ohio • Emergency Management • Public Health • Ottawa County • Public Health • Federal • Dept. of Energy • Health & Human Services • NGO • American Red Cross • City of Toledo • Mayor’s Office • Hospitals • Mercy Children’s • St. Anne’s Mercy Simulated organizations in play (Review Description)

  6. Timeframe • 12:45 PM – 1:00 PM – Introduction & Overview • 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM – Exercise • 3:00 PM – 3:30 PM – Hotwash & After Action Review

  7. Scope of Play • No-fault learning environment • Evaluation of existing plans & procedures • Response to a SIMULATED tornado outbreak and several other events affecting the region • Regional participation

  8. Scenario • Severe Weather • Multiple tornados • Initially Impacted areas of Ohio include: • Plymouth • Fostoria • Strongsville • Perry

  9. Exercise Assumptions • Response agencies in affected areas will need to request assistance from other jurisdictions • Emergency services personnel who respond to incident scenarios will operate in accordance with existing plans, procedures, and practices. • The scenario is realistic and plausible and will contain sufficient detail from which to respond. • The exercise will be conducted in real time. • Exercise players will react to information and situations as they are presented, in the same manner as if the exercise were a real incident. • Risk communication activities via social media only

  10. Artificialities • Structure of JIC • Multiple representatives per unit • Organizations represented

  11. Exercise Funding & Support • Advanced Practice Center (APC) • Toledo-Lucas County Public Health Department • NUSURA

  12. Exercise Objectives • To evaluate the information gathering capability of participants via social media systems • To test the integration of social media messaging into ICS, NIMS, and EOC structured environments • To measure the effectiveness of disaster-related response messaging distributed via social media systems

  13. Exercise Command & Control • Controllers • Physical • Virtual • Evaluators • Players • Simulation (“Sim”) Cell • Site Coordinator • JIC Manager • Safety Officer

  14. Controller/Evaluation Roles • Controllers • Monitor exercise progress and coordinate any required modifications • Introduce, maintain, and coordinate exercise events in accordance with the Master Scenario Events List • Observe and report on exercise artificialities that interfere with realism • Evaluators • Observe, record, and report player actions • Observe whether exercise objectives were tested and met • Inform Controller of problems related to exercise design • Ensure collection of all evaluation data, evaluation forms, and materials after the exercise

  15. Participant Evaluations • Participant Feedback Form • In the folder you received during check in, you will find an evaluation form for today’s exercise • We ask that you complete this before you leave today

  16. Exercise Communication • Players will use routine agency systems and protocols to communicate • Players will communicate and coordinate only with other players or the Sim Cell • Simulation Deck Social Systems Only • Participant Phonebook

  17. SimCell 101:What is the SimCell? • To role-play or simulate nonparticipating organizations, departments, and agencies. • Provides information or enacts roles (e.g., as media reporters or next of kin) in order to drive exercise play or respond to questions from Players. • Ensures realistic, real-time, two-way communications between the players and simulated response and support agencies.

  18. SimCell 101: When to Contact the SimCell • Players should contact the SimCell to: • Obtain or provide information regarding an inject • Contact a department of agency that is not playing during the exercise • Contact private sector/vendors • Communications should not be sent to any entities or agencies not participating in the exercise. • What to expect when contacting the SimCell • Accurate and realistic answers to inquires • Situational information and updates • What not to expect when contacting the SimCell • All the answers to your inquires • Misinformation • Immediate resolution

  19. Rules of Conduct • 1. Notify Safety Officer if actual emergency occurs • 2. Act in a professional manner at all times • 3. Understand the scope of the exercise • 4. If parts of the scenario seem implausible, do not complain • 5. Do not engage in casual conversations with the controllers or evaluators

  20. Check-in & Identification Process • All participants were given a number on your ID badge when you checked in • This corresponds to the group you will simulate playing • Consult group description for more information

  21. Exercise Roles • All participants have been mixed regardless of their discipline • Participants will be representing local/regional/federal organizations invested in scenario • One person per group will serve as the representative to the JIC • JIC Manager role
