## COMMAND AND CONTROL

- Interagency/Intra-agency, FSL integration/cooperation crisis-consequence management handoff
- Unified Command Structure
- Crime Scene Evidence preservation/criminal investigation/chain of custody
- Communications degradation
- FBI and FEMA roles
- Finances

- Exercise and Integrated Emergency Management
- Structure (IMS, ICS, UCS, etc...)

- Assess Command, Control, and Communication and Coordination at the local, State, Regional and federal levels and integration with the medical community

- Interagency/Intra-agency, FSL integration/cooperation crisis-consequence management handoff
- Unified Command Structure
- Crime Scene Evidence preservation/criminal investigation/chain of custody
- Communications degradation
- Public information/media affairs
- Asset management

- Exercise should stress the ability of local, State, and Federal assets across the functional spectrum to integrate into the response to a WMD incident, using the incident command system, incident management system, and unified command concepts.

**COMMAND AND CONTROL**

- Stage Setting:  event profile, combined event, (explosive and bio agent), multiple events, multiple location/city campaign, duration of multiple days, contagion vs non-contagion (not important), “real time”, deployment of assets, mass fatalities/mass casualties, contrast, NLD and non-NLD cities

- Design exercise with the following features: multiple events, multiple location/cities, duration of multiple days, real time deployment, real resources limitations, note:  principle event generated by chemicals

- Demonstrate distinction between chem and bio incidents, including focal chemical, focal biological, covert release and hoax.  Recognize, identify and predict consequences stemming from a chem or bio event

- Event profile, combine event, multiple events, multiple locations/city campaign (one site should be a city which has concluded the NLD/DPP cycle, duration of multiple days, real time, involve rural participants

- Exercise should involve multiple jurisdictions, local, state, and federal, at multiple locations responding to multiple agents, (or initiators) for 2-3 days and should simultaneously address both crisis and consequence management issues

**MULTIPLE EVENTS**

**PUBLIC INFORMATION**

-        MULTI GRP 1    MULTI GRP 2     MULTI GRP 3     MULTI GRP 4     MULTI GRP 5

## MEDICAL/PUBLIC HEALTH

- Medical and Public Health infrastructure, response and resources, provision of health resources (prophylaxis) mutual aid/ support, mass casualties/ mass fatalities

- Exercise the medical/public health infrastructure

- Demonstrate ability to protect lives and property:  prevent injury at all levels through assessment of the capability to delivery, distribute and administer medical supplies (antibiotics, antidotes, and vaccinations, ventilators, ICU capabilities) and personnel in a timely manner, manage disposition of mass fatalities (the management of contaminated remains)

- Medical and public health infrastructure, victim care, resource management, surveillance, diagnosis, identification, mortuary services, integration of additional support,

**MEDICAL/PUBLIC HEALTH**

- Testing the infrastructure, public works:  water and waste water, utilities, transportation:  inter-city and local (site access):  quarantine challenges, (transport, facilities), test technical capabilities of federal resources, including software and hardware

- Test ability to protect and/or respond to disruptions of critical infrastructure resulting from a catastrophic WMD attack

- Testing the infrastructure, public works:  water and waste water, utilities, transportation:  inter-city and local (site access):  quarantine challenges, (transport, facilities), test technical capabilities of federal resources, including software and hardware

**INFRASTRUCTURE**

- FSL resources, identification, managing, and moving, mutual aid, including local accommodation/reception support to augment federal assets, challenge resource pool, activation/call up, contractor and private sector, volunteers and NGOs, timeliness of decision making:  timeliness of movement, mobilization match the need, adequacy of federal response

- Exercise resource/asset management

- Analyze the adequacy of current federal response systems and programs (the federal portfolio:  for example, NLD/DPP) at meeting local, state and regional needs

- Force the prioritization of those limited specialized federal response capabilities to separate the simultaneous WMD incidents, exercise should promote and broaden understanding of assets available at all levels, stress the most effective integration of federal assets in the local, county, and state operations

**RESOURCE MANAGEMENT**

-        MULTI GRP 1    MULTI GRP 2     MULTI GRP 3     MULTI GRP 4     MULTI GRP 5

## INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS

- Expose suspected gaps in physical communications interoperability between functional and jurisdictional levels of government during a WMD incident

**INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS**

- Timely widespread dissemination of AARs, comprehensive recording of unfolding event, identify those federal and state assets that were actually used, pre-planning was exploited

- Discussion of lessons learned

- Widespread dissemination of lessons learned, Timely widespread dissemination of AARs, comprehensive recording of unfolding event

**LESSONS LEARNED**

- Horizontally vertical, up and down and across, classification issues, threat assessments, pre-event intelligence

- Exercise “information sharing”

- Horizontal, vertical, up and down, across classification issues, threat assessments

- Demonstrate the value of info sharing between FSL entities, in preventing and/or mitigating the consequences of WMD

**INFORMATION SHARING**

- Measure health surveillance system’s ability to recognize, identify, and predict consequences from a CB incident.
