1 Our Experience with HSEEP Exercises Rick France, Ph.D. Florida Dept. of Health Dana Johnson, Mississippi State Dept. of Health Theresa Kittle, MPH, Mississippi State Dept. of Health
2 Objectives HSEEP Overview Mississippi s s HSEEP Experience (FSE) Laboratory perspective Epidemiology perspective Florida s s HSEEP Experience (FSE) Building upon the Mississippi FSE Questions and Answers
3 What is HSEEP? Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program A capabilities and performance-based exercise program Provides common exercise policy and program guidance The methodology of HSEEP was based on proven exercise design, development, and evaluation methods from other programs
4 HSEEP Compliance Conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop and develop and maintain a Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan Conduct exercises in accordance with the guidelines set forth in HSEEP Develop and submit a properly formatted After- Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) Track and implement corrective actions identified in the AAR/IP
5 Why Do Exercises? Federal Funding may be conditional upon HSEEP compliance It s s important to practice It s s the only way you ll know if your preparedness plan will work
6 What s s Involved? HSEEP Documentation (Volume I III) ExPlan Exercise Plan Controllers Handbook MSEL Master Scenario Events List EEG Exercise Evaluation Guide Coordinating Players, Controllers and Evaluators AAR/IP s s (After Action Reports and Improvement Plans)
7 Take Home Message Exercises are conducted not to find fault but to find gaps!
8 What Type of Exercise Tabletop Multiple or single agency Panel Discussion Multiple agencies Drill Proficiency Tests, Packaging and Shipping Functional - Multiple agencies but no boots on the ground Full Scale Multiple agencies, multiple jurisdictions and multiple disciplines
9 Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan
10 HSEEP Advantages Provides framework for trainings up through exercises Gives starting point Provides templates for documents, presentations Logical process for training, exercising and testing plans Provides a basis to build upon annually Other states are able to build upon existing exercises Reduces redundancy Facilitates networking between states

31 Exercise Scope Test emergency response plans during an all-hazards event Involve multiple outside agencies and facilities that would play a key role in detection and response. Utilize Simulation cell Initiate exercise operations MSDH Campus No activation of emergency operations centers (EOCs( EOCs) No law enforcement or Mississippi State Patrol was involved in play
32 HSEEP Objectives SMART concept Simple: an easily understood statement Measurable: can be gauged against a standard Achievable: challenging, but not impossible Realistic: plausible for your area and relevant to what you to accomplish Task-oriented: tied to a task and measures what you want to exercise
33 Public Health Lab Objectives Evaluate MPHL response time during a chemical exposure event according to MPHL procedure Receive Analyze Report clinical sample results to the Office of Epidemiology Evaluate MPHL response time during a chemical exposure event according to EPA methodology Receive Analyze Report environmental sample results to MSDH Dept of Public Water Supply
34 Public Health Lab Objectives Evaluate the ability of the MPHL and the Office of Emergency Planning and Response (OEPR) during a chemical exposure event occurring on nights, weekends or holidays according to the MPHL emergency response plan for the CDC cooperative agreement Effectively communicate proper sample transport procedures to hospital sentinel laboratories
35 Epidemiology SMART Objective Evaluate the capability of the 24/7/365 on-call reporting system during a chemical exposure event to effectively: Receive phone calls Properly disseminate information to essential public health personnel All in accordance with the Office of Epidemiology s procedures
36 Scenario Synopsis Utilize both the environmental and clinical MSDH after-hours response to a chemical exposure event Arsenic contamination of a water supply system Feeds Slippery Slides Water Park Water ingested by a large group of people Approximately 2,500 people visit the water park each season Has a restaurant, snack bar and a golf course
37 Scenario Synopsis Contaminated Water Supply Nine Public Health Districts have exposed people report to local ER Calls from ER to MSDH Epi and MS PCC Clinical samples collected Epi, PCC, Environmental & ERs notified of results Samples analyzed and results correlated Routine system check of grounds ids possible break-in Calls from PWS alerting environmentalist and engineers of break-in Environmental samples collected Samples sent to MSDH PHL for testing

53 Key Strengths and Accomplishments Useful learning/training experience Beneficial preparation for real-life life event Identification of weak areas Fostered relationships and encouraged communication with staff in healthcare facilities Helped identify roles of MSDH staff and the parts they can play Briefings of staff to update of developing situation Redundant communication noted
54 Key Areas for Improvement Chain of Custody (COC) forms Not all involved were familiar with COC forms and were unsure how to fill out Communication Lapse in response of returning calls promptly Cell phones worked intermittently and had bad connections Limited access to after-hours contact numbers Roles of employees Confusion as to who does what
55 Key Successes The ability of multiple agencies and facilities to work together to plan, develop and execute a large-scale exercise Hospitals used FSE to meet certification requirements
56 Key Challenge Learning to navigate and use the HSEEP toolkit and the required documentation that is needed in developing a full-scale exercise
57 Lessons Learned Set firm invitation and acceptance deadlines for all participants and agencies involved Have hospitals on planning team Delegate tasks to team members Obtain contacts agencies/facilities involved
58 Lessons Learned Know how many agency calendars exist Ensure the exercise and related meetings/conferences are listed on all calendars Make scenario as realistic as possible Use toolkit as a guide Modify tools to suit exercise needs Ensure players understand their roles and time commitment Brief staff to update on developing situation
