2014 spring exercise - jjmcd/ARPSC GitHub Wiki

Initial thoughts

  • Run it as a TTX
  • Online because we can't get everyone to Lansing
  • Per district because online webinars fall apart with more than about a dozen people
  • Probably ECs only for the same reason
  • Larry has suggested programs get together in one room with a big screen
  • Would like to invoke significant discussion of VHF operations
  • What to do when the repeater goes dark
  • Do your repeaters have backup power
  • Are there areas not well served by whatever repeater is used by ARES
  • VHF relays
  • Activation
  • How do local programs activate
  • What if phones are down
  • Bench depth, what if EC is out of town
  • Are paper plans available if EC is not
  • Response
  • Do you have adequate manpower to cover shelters, other facilities
    • What if it extends over multiple operational periods
  • Do you have plans to reach out to other counties, districts for help
  • What if travel is restricted
  • Do you have separate staging, tactical, admin frequencies
  • Date?
  • Perhaps April would be better than May if we can be ready in time
  • Late March if possible
  • Initial Example
  • After-Action Report
  • Possibly at Lupton?
  • Execution/Planning
  • Can we get relevant drawings from EMHSD GIS
    • McD to call EMHSD 17Feb and see if possible
  • Can/Should we have ECs print player guides prior
  • How can we best use/recruit evaluators
    • Possibly put evaluators in a few meeting rooms
