17 SECTION 4: CONCLUSION Exercises such as this one allow personnel to validate training and practice strategic and tactical prevention, protection, response and recovery capabilities in a risk-reduced environment. Exercises are the primary tool for assessing preparedness and identifying areas for improvement, while demonstrating community resolve to prepare for major incidents. Exercises aim to help entities within the community gain objective assessments of their capabilities so that gaps, deficiencies, and vulnerabilities are addressed prior to a real incident. Exercises are the most effective (and safer) means to: Assess and validate policies, plans, procedures, training, equipment, assumptions, and interagency agreements; Clarify roles and responsibilities; Improve interagency coordination and communications; Identify gaps in resources; Measure performance; and Identify opportunities for improvement. This exercise succeeded in addressing all of the above as it provided examples of good to excellent participant knowledge, teamwork, communication and use of plans and procedures while pointing out areas in need of improvement and clarification. Listed below is a summary of the level of performance the Target Capabilities and Tasks evaluated during the exercise. This summary outlines the areas in which Neptune Township is strong as well as identifying areas that the departments should invest future planning, training and exercise funds on.

20 APPENDIX B: PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK (3 THUMBS UP 3 THUMBS DOWN) Thumbs Up History of working well together setting up command structure. Exchange of information strong communication skills inter agency. Resources are available immediately and locally cross training amongst agencies. Communication and exchange of information between agencies including the hospital. The understanding of the need to promptly call for additional resources. Establishment of the command structure including the need for information to be sent to and received from the PIO. The entire group worked well together to analyze the situation and develop appropriate responses. All participating agencies have a significant history of working together. As a result, they have developed confidence and trust in each other that results in a strong and easily identified command structure. Neptune has developed a strong emergency response program through utilization of Homeland Security funding, Hazardous Materials Response funding, and other state, and federal grants. As a result, Neptune has the resources necessary to promptly and effectively respond to a scenario such as this. That is not saying that this scenario doesn't present a challenge, but rather that the challenge will primarily be placed upon our local responders as opposed to depending upon mutual aid partners to provide such a response. Interagency communication and information sharing. Availability of in house resources to manage this type of incident. Also, adopted mutual aid agreements with neighboring agencies. Knowledge of the ICS and the ability to manage such incidents within our agency. This is one of many cooperative event that Neptune Township does, and the inter and intra agency communication is to the point of second nature. The cooperation of agencies throughout Neptune Township (Fire, Police, EMS and OEM) happens almost daily and makes for continued use of ICS and less territorial boundaries by agency. Much of what is needed for this event is contained within our own agency, and mutual 20 Page
21 aid is well established. Teamwork amongst the responders. Set-up of ICS structure. Everyone provided information that was required of them. Open dialogue among participants resulting in exchange of information and roles. Setting up Incident Command. Resources available locally; cross training among agencies. The ability of our emergency services to work in a cooperative and effective manner. The planning and utilization of our assets. Experience and expertise of our people. Lack of interagency rivalry, willingness to cooperate. Information sharing. Interagency communication and cooperation. Discussed lessons learned from previous exercises as well as new fixes in place. We don't always hear about new policies or practices in other agencies. Overall familiarity with ICS and Unified Command. Most present at the table had informed input Vested parties from all aspects of EMS, community, Fire, PD, hospital, etc. Communication - great discussion, problem-solving efforts. Collegial relationships - goal directed approach. All groups worked very well together, very good communication Setting up command structure and recognizing that we went from one incident commander to unified command. Recognizing what resources were available and what would be needed immediately and what should be in staging. Interagency team communication. Interagency team corroboration. Interagency team coordination. 21 Page
22 The preparation and system utilized for the tabletop exercise set the stage for a beneficial experience and interaction between all agencies involved. Setting up the Command Structure. Strong Communication skills among agencies and exchange of information. Available resources (Cross Training). Thumbs Down Communications through communications center needs to be dependable and accurate. Identification of deployment of supplemental resources needs improvement. Establish a deeper line of succession of leadership training lower level responders. Consider further depth of command structure knowledge and familiarity. Consideration of the toxic external atmosphere and extended impact. There is a need to strengthen the future leadership of our emergency response agencies in every discipline. This can only be done through training, mentoring and placing them in positions of responsibility to develop the necessary skill sets. All emergency response agencies are dependent upon accurate and timely dispatch of resources. Neptune is currently struggling with the transition to county dispatch who are not always aware of the local capabilities, which leads to delayed notification of appropriate responders and assets. There is a need to expand the number of highly trained, competent and dependable Hazardous Materials Technicians. Neptune Township has 14 such responders, but the number of responders needed to certain scene will exceed our capabilities. Communications. Ability of the county communications center to obtain and management the incident information received and transmit same effectively to the various agencies. Management of resources and the need to determine scope of incident quickly to develop and IAP and begin to evaluate the need for supplemental resources. ICS training to subordinate officers in the township s agencies. The need to deepen the command structure so in the absence of current managers the level of training, down the chain of command, is equal to provide proper management of the incidents. As is always the case. Radio frequencies are limited and not always available inter agency. Communication of command is and will continue to be a problem that is difficult to overcome because of limited resources. 22 Page
23 The participants have an issue treating a drill as a "real life" scenario, and as such as not as committed to the scene as they would be in a real situation, this tends to cause unintended short cuts that may inadvertently problems for other agencies. Getting substantial resources (mutual aid, etc.) at the scene in a timely fashion could be challenging. Overthinking of exercise. When above happens participants ask questions that can't be answered without specifics. Communication system needs to be accurate. Rapid deployment of resources. Providing training in lower ranks of first responders for eventual leadership positions. Communications through our "system". Sometime redundant and duplicated. Control of personnel on scene. Freelancing. One component may be short staffed (volunteers), so that places strain on other agencies. Lack of EMS considerations. Only mentioned as part of IAP in general terms, no specific considerations were raised. There was a lot of dependence upon mutual aid, or calling people in. I am not sure it was realistic. No inclusion or request for Neptune City CERT Team. One town over, could assist with road closure / monitoring or other tasks. Resources - a better understanding of "who" is available "when". Depth of education regarding ICS outside of the leadership group. Earlier notification to hospital of event. Communication between the 911 center and first responding units. Communication operator must gather as much information as possible and pass it to the responders quickly. Recognizing that in an event that involves multiple injuries and a HazMat situation, it will require a response by multiple agencies, i.e. PD, Fire, EMS and OEM. It is imperative that lower level personnel be trained on the Incident Command System (ICS). Also recognizing that when additional resources are needed from outside your jurisdiction you should look to the nearest assets. 23 Page
24 Development of bench personnel to prevent reliance of the few with many hats. Identify impact to functional needs population. Communications through dispatcher center Identification and deployment of supplemental resources. Establish a deeper line of successor of leadership. Better training for lower level responders. 24 Page
