7 SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN SUMMARY Exercise Purpose and Design The purpose of the exercise was to provide an opportunity for public health agencies along with their local community partners to collaborate in meeting the health care needs of victims while re-establishing community health systems following a hurricane. Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Capabilities-based planning allows for the exercise planning team to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all objectives and observations in this exercise. Additionally, each capability is linked to several corresponding activities and tasks to provide additional detail. Based upon the identified exercise objectives below, the exercise planning team decided to demonstrate the following capabilities during this exercise: Community Recovery Activity Target Capability # 1 Initiative and Coordinate Public Health Recovery Activities # 2 Emergency Management Coordination # 3 Information Sharing # 4 Mass Care # 5 Volunteer Management Scenario Summary It is late July and local residents have been complacent in their hurricane preparedness activities because this year s hurricane season has only produced several tropical storms and a few minor hurricanes, none of which have made landfall. Families are making their last minute plans for summer vacations while local business owners and government agencies are thinking that the hurricane season could be very inconsequential. However weather forecasters are predicting a major change in the atmosphere that could see a sharp increase in the severity of hurricanes within the next few weeks. 7 Page
8 By early August area residents, business owners and government officials begin to follow the projected path of another tropical storm. Day 1 National Hurricane Center - Tropical Storm Hanna Advisory # 5 - Saturday 8/3/2014-5:00AM The National Hurricane Center has up-graded Tropical Depression # 1 to Tropical Storm Hanna. The storm continues its forward movement and is expected to become a hurricane in the next 12 to 24 hours. Sustained Wind Speed Forward Movement Category 37 MPH 11 MPH Tropical Storm The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor the storm via satellite and Hurricane Hunter planes as it continues to intensify. 8 Page
9 SECTION 3: ANALYSIS OF CAPABILITIES Community Recovery Performance Target Capability Activity # 1: Initiative and Coordinate Public Health Recovery Activities Associated Critical Tasks Task # 1.1: Participate with the recovery lead jurisdictional agencies (e.g., emergency management and social service) to ensure that the jurisdiction can provide health services needed to recover from a physical or mental / behavioral injury, illness or exposure sustained as a result of the incident, with particular attention to the functional needs of at-risk persons. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations Recommendations The majority of participants were from small communities that indicated they had a good idea of the roles and responsibilities as it related to recovering from a hurricane. There was some concern noted about water systems as many of the communities were on wells. Conduct a yearly review of roles and responsibilities for an impact of a hurricane in each individual municipality. Task # 1.2: Notify the community via community partners of the health agency s plans for restoration of impacted public health, medical and mental / behavioral health services. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations Many participants indicated that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health would be provide most of the communication to behavioral health organizations and other licenses health care providers. Recommendations Create relationships with providers within individual communities, where they don't exist. Task # 1.3: Partner with public health, medical and mental / behavioral health professionals and other social networks (e.g., faith-based, volunteer 9 Page
10 organizations, support groups, and professional organizations) from within and outside the jurisdiction, as applicable to the incident, to educate their constituents regarding applicable health interventions being recommended by public health. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations None Recommendations None Performance Adequate Target Capability Activity # 2: Emergency Management Coordination Associated Critical Tasks Task # 2.1: Identify and assign qualified staff to fill the various ICS roles that are required to effectively manage public health recovery operations. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations Recommendations All of the participants were able to identify who might fill the appropriate Incident Command System (ICS) roles. However, it was indicated that many of these individual did not have the full training nor is depth present to handle all of the necessary responsibilities. Additional training in the ICS system would be beneficial for all participants and internal department staffs. Consider incident management team training. Consider inter-municipal agreements to provide combined services. Create department Continuity of Operations Plans to ensure that the necessary policies and procedures to operate in a continuity environment. Task # 2.2: Develop a viable Incident Action Plan identifying focusing on public health recovery operations. Needs Improvement Observations Evaluator # 1 There seemed to be a lack of understanding about the creation of SMART objectives. 10 Page
11 Recommendations Provide additional incident action planning courses, such as IS201 to all participants. Provide an individualized training on the creation of SMART objectives. Find a way of training new health department staff on ICS. Performance Target Capability Adequate Activity # 3: Information Sharing Associated Critical Tasks Task # 3.1: Identify intra-jurisdictional stakeholders across public health, public safety, private sector, law enforcement and other disciplines to determine information-sharing needs. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations None Recommendations None Task # 3.2: Identify routine or incident-specific data requirements for each stakeholder. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations None Recommendations None Performance Target Capability Adequate Activity # 4: Mass Care Associated Critical Tasks Task # 4.1: Coordinate with response partners to complete a facility-specific environmental health and safety assessment of the selected shelter locations. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations None 11 Page
12 Recommendations None Task # 4.2: Coordinate with healthcare partners to assure medical and mental / behavioral health services are accessible at or through shelter locations. Needs Improvement Observations Evaluator # 1 Due to the small size of some jurisdictions, they indicated that they may have some trouble providing for all of the medical and behavioral needs of shelter residents. Recommendations Joint planning between all jurisdictions and the Medical Reserve Corp is needed to ensure that support will be provided, when needed. Host a regional planning workshop to consider regional sheltering efforts. Task # 4.3: In coordination with partner agencies, monitor facility-specific environmental health and safety, including screening for contamination (e.g., radiological, nuclear, biological, or chemical) and assure any identified deficiencies are corrected. Adequate Evaluator # 1 Observations Participants noted that shelter screening would be done by the American Red Cross staff. Recommendations None Performance Needs Improvement Target Capability Activity # 5: Volunteer Management Associated Critical Tasks Task # 5.1: Support provision of initial and ongoing emergency response training for registered volunteers. Training should be supported in partnership with jurisdictional Medical Reserve Corps unit(s) and other partner groups. Needs Improvement Evaluator # 1 12 Page
13 Observations Recommendations Many participants indicated that they did not have a robust volunteer program. The Worcester Regional Medical Reserve Corps was just getting back off the ground and needed to be better incorporated. Consider a regional CERT program. Better understand Medical Reserve Corps capabilities and incorporate them into planning and response efforts. Task # 5.2: Manage spontaneous volunteers who may request to support the public health agency s response, either through incorporating them into the response or by triaging them to other potential volunteer resources. Needs Improvement Observations Evaluator # 1 Many participants indicated that they would be able to provide CORI checks through the police department but didn't have a full plan for integrating spontaneous volunteers. Recommendations Develop a plan for spontaneous volunteer assistance. 13 Page
14 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 exercise participants are strong as well as identifying areas that the departments should invest future planning, training and exercise funds on.

15 APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN This Improvement Plan has been developed specifically for exercise participants based on the results of Recovery Readiness - A Community Recovery Tabletop Exercise conducted on June 23, These recommendations draw on both the After Action Report and the After Action Conference. Capability Observation Recommendation Responsible Agency Completion Date Initiative and Coordinate Public Health Recovery Activities Emergency Management Coordination The majority of participants were from small communities that indicated they had a good idea of the roles and responsibilities as it related to recovering from a hurricane. Many participants indicated that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health would provide most of the communication to behavioral health organizations and other licenses health care providers. While health departments have some staff trained in various ICS roles there is not enough trained staff to fill all the required ICS roles to effectively manage disaster recovery. There was a lack of understanding about the creation Conduct a yearly review of roles and responsibilities for an impact of a hurricane in each individual municipality. Create relationships with providers within individual communities, where they don't exist. Provide ICS training to health department staff members.

Explore the possibilities of working with the local United Way to enhance volunteer capabilities. 16 Page
17 APPENDIX B: PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK (Strengths Areas for Improvement) Strengths Communication both among the town employees and their partners. Health department was ready to roll out messaging that was robust and helpful. Continuously reviewing our plans and updating as necessary. It was very collaborative. It was informative. It opened our eyes to the different towns and cities. Excellent collaboration. Sharing of lessons learned and varying views and approaches. Felt a confidence in our responses and in our success in contacting NECESSARY PARTIES. Group communicated well with common goals. Familiar with local resources. All input at the table was considered. Great coordination between exercise participants. This group consisted of several different jurisdictions and input from different views was very helpful and insightful. All participants were involved in exercise discussions. All members had both education and real world experience that added to the information discussed in exercise injects. Exercise design made participation and input from participants beneficially effective and created an atmosphere of discussion among different jurisdictions and job positions. Wide variety of experience levels and functional areas. Good facilitation and team support. The exercise provided a good situation which required an evaluation of public health responsibilities during disaster recovery operations. There was diversity in my table group which enhanced the conversation. Communication amongst team members. 17 Page
18 Resourceful in finding all public partners to reach out in our community. Well organized documentation processes in place. The contact information - community based organizations that we coordinate with daily. Several board of health inspectors and nurses in group. Knowing the community resources. Good communication between all participants. Excellent knowledge of contact resources and community agencies. Concise recommendations and procedure coordination. Our group was well represented by various disciplines which contributed to a wellrounded discussion of the event. Knowledgeable in identifying partners and contact persons to assist in event. Able to follow basic shelter plans. Diverse demographic of agencies were present. It was a very interesting exercise and learning experience for a person, such as I, who has been in EMS for 30 years but not familiar with the workings of boards of health in disasters. There was a very good exchange of information among the members of our team. Two were members of the same board of health, and four members of Medical Reserve Corps. The facilitators of the exercise were very welcoming, organized and ran the exercise very well. Working with other towns and other departments like the Medical Reserve Corps. We were able to identify our partners and communicate well with them. We determined the messages that needed to be sent, produced and distributed them. We identified our responsibilities and time lines for achieving them. Training was efficient. Very knowledgeable. Areas for Improvement SMART goals were not specific enough and needed refining. 18 Page
19 Not knowledgeable about reimbursement procedures. Not enough delegation-too many assumptions. Helping the towns and school districts to understand the importance of the exercises. Have the EOP with us. Inform those that need to know the importance of these events. Though we have a plan we learned that we lack familiarity with it. Lack of resources within the department to support the response through the event and the recovery. Didn't notify folks about the safe use of generators. Recommend to practice with local plans in hand. Use of backup plans for how to deal with other events related to the storm. Improved communication between all agencies task with responsibilities outlined in the EOP. Although this group had beneficial communications other groups may not have had as many disciplines within their group. Increased knowledge of response plans both locally and regionally. SMART Incident Action Plan could be more in depth from team members. Financial system familiarity should be re-addressed. EOP additions to include methodology should a hurricane occur. Transportation aspect - we didn't address it enough. Knowing the plans better. We should have addressed the financial aspect of the disaster from the beginning. More detailed recommendations for water contamination. Transportation options for stranded residents. Diverting residents to a medical shelter who required advanced medical attention. Increased knowledge of plans and location of information. ICS roles and who fills what position. Financial aspect - forms needed for reimbursement, tracking of hours. 19 Page
20 Our response plan was light on detail in keeping with SMART. Although we all had ICS and NIMS we were not as familiar with the proper forms and documents that need to be completed for tracking purposes. We were less prepared with backup. 20 Page
