  1. Being Prepared for Disaster Kevin Dodds

  2. Simulated Operations Unit The Simulated Operations Unit conducts multi agency emergency management simulated exercises which tests the capability of participants in the areas of decision making, communication and leadership. The immersive simulation uses what is known worldwide as the Hydra methodology and seeks to immerse participants into a scenario which allows them to respond as they would in a real life situation.

  3. Key Focus • Critical Decision Making • Communication • Leadership

  4. What we do? • Investigation & Intelligence • Incident & Emergency Management • Leadership

  5. Investigation & Intelligence • Senior Detectives Course • Critical Incident Investigation Course • Terrorism Investigation (State & National) • Drug Crime Course • Negotiators (State & International) • AFP Major Organised Crime Course • CT Intelligence (National)

  6. Incident Management • Local Emergency Operations Controllers (EM) • Regional Emergency Operations Controllers (EM) • Incident Commanders Course • Advanced Incident Commanders Course • Public Order Desktops

  7. Leadership • Inspectors Transition Program • Superintendents Transition Program • Strategic Leadership Program • DET (High School Principals / Local Area Commands

  8. The way we do it? • Hydra (slow burn) • Individuals performing as a team with a Team Leader (Leadership) • Flexible timing • Interaction (Communication) • Within the Group • Among the Groups • Information is provided and decisions made and recorded in a Journal or Log (Decision Making) • Minerva (quick fire) • Individuals performing actual roles (Leadership) • Real time • Interaction (Communication) • Upper level / Lower level • Information overload (Decision Making) • Immersion Room

  9. Why we do it? • Filling the gap between learning and the real thing • 70/20/10 Framework – Learning by doing • Preparing your mind, body by rehearsing – Competently Confident • It is a safe learning environment – Chatham House with no Assessment • Changing behaviour – Thought, Knowledge, Action, Behaviour, Habit • Cost Benefit Analysis - Flexibility of Simulation v Desktop / Field Exercises

  10. Why we need to use Simulation to Prepare For Disaster Relationships Breaking down barriers Cooperation Resources Thinking strategically Allows for reflective learning Test ability on specific issues Confidence v Competence Learning from Subject Matter Experts Cost
