Event List 1. Event List October 6, 1:15 A.M. A large transformer near Taylor, Michigan fails. The transformer while not new, is not old enough that failure was expected. Power is out in much of Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Detroit Edison has not yet given an expected repair time. October 6, 3:12 A.M. Telephone service has failed in and around Grayling, Michigan. The cause of the failure is not yet clear, nor is the breadth of the disruption. It is believed it may extend beyond Crawford County, but that is not known at this time. October 6, 5:13 A.M. The reactor at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station has SCRAMed unexpectedly. The Fermi plant is located in the Frenchtown Charter Township on the shore of Lake Erie in Monroe County. The single reactor known as E. Fermi 2 was commissioned in 1988. The reactor is a GE boiling water reactor, similar to the Fukushima reactors, but significantly modernized. (E. Fermi 1 was decommissioned in 1975.) At this time, the cause of the shutdown is unknown. October 6, 5:19 A.M. DTE Energy notifies the State Police Hot Line that a Site Area Emergency (HS3 Appendix R, HS3 Other Conditions) has been declared at E. Fermi 2. October 6, 5:32 A.M.

Request for 214 C. Request for 214 ICS 213 GENERAL MESSAGE TO: All District RACES Officers POSITION: FROM: State RACES Officer POSITION: SUBJ: Potential Hostile Action DATE: OCT 6 TIME: 0930 MESSAGE: *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** There have been a rather startling number of apparently unrelated incidents occurring across the state. This has led Inspector Capp, Incident Commander at the State Emergency Operations Center, to be concerned that the incidents are somehow related. Please advise the SEOC of any unusual events in your jurisdiction. To date, the following incidents are known: - Taylor transformer failure - Grayling telephone disruption - SCRAM at E. Fermi 2 - Kentwood water main break - Widespread power outage in District 3 - Gas pipeline break near Chelsea The commander is concerned that with the widespread infrastructure issues it is important that the SEOC stay on top of all available communications assets. He has therefore requested that each jurisdiction deliver ICS-214 to the SEOC on an hourly basis until the situation is better understood. *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** SIGNATURE: John J. McDonough POSITION: State RACES Officer 9
D. Notification of D.C. Cook Status ICS 213 GENERAL MESSAGE TO: All District RACES Officers POSITION: FROM: State RACES Officer POSITION: SUBJ: D. C. Cook Shutdown DATE: OCT 6 TIME: 1041 MESSAGE: *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** Reactor 2 at the D.C. Cook nuclear plant in Berrien County has shut down unexpectedly. The plant has shut down reactor 1 as a precaution. The telephone disruption around Grayling appears to have spread to much of the lower peninsula north of M-46. There also appear to be some Internet disruptions on the east side of the state. It is critical that you notify the SEOC of any unusual events in your jurisdiction, and update the SEOC with any changes in your ICS 214 or 205A promptly. *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** SIGNATURE: John J. McDonough POSITION: State RACES Officer 10

H. Notification of Evacuation ICS 213 GENERAL MESSAGE TO: All District RACES Officers POSITION: FROM: State RACES Officer POSITION: SUBJ: Evacuation of parts of District 5 DATE: OCT 6 TIME: 1221 MESSAGE: *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** Governor Rick Snyder has ordered the evacuation of protective action areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 around the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Van Buren County's Covert Township. In addition, marine and air traffic is to be cleared within a 10 mile radius of the plant. This area includes portions of Allegan, Berrien and Van Buren counties. At 12:01 P.M. the plant declared a General Emergency of the category HG1.1. This indicates that the plant safety officer believes that control of the plant is in the hands of a hostile force. Possibly related to the loss of both nuclear generating stations in the area, power has been lost in the area south of I-94 and west of Albion. All jurisdictions are reminded to report any unusual incidents to the State Emergency Operations Center IMMEDIATELY, and promptly update the SEOC with any changes in your 214 or 205A. *** THIS IS AN EXERCISE *** SIGNATURE: John J.
