  17. Scope • The exercise will begin with a 911 call reporting an explosion at a public event and will move through: • The initial response and assessment activities • Victim triage, treatment, and transport activities, and… • HazMat reconnaissance and decontamination activities • Additionally, the exercise will include issues such as: • Activating fire and law enforcement mutual-aid • TEW assessment and Mission Folder development • Detecting secondary explosive devices • Mental health assistance • Crime scene investigation

  18. Assumptions • Responder actions will not be scripted. Actions will be determined in accordance with the Incident Command System (ICS) and directed by a unified command structure. • Participating agencies will identify all agencies simulated during the exercise. • Participating agencies will identify and invite other outside agencies whom they wish to be included as additional exercise participants. • Victim symptom tags will be created for Actors. There will be approximately 120 moulaged victims during this exercise. • Real-world radio frequencies will be used for the exercise. • Fire and Law Enforcement Dispatchers will be on-site.

  19. Artificialities • The weather will be “actual” real-world weather with one exception: The wind is five mph and is from the West. • The Incident Command Post (ICP) will be located adjacent to the incident site in order to maximize training controls. • An assembly area will be designated to pre-stage all emergency response assets. • Compressed response times will be used during the exercise to facilitate the flow of the exercise. • A mass casualty gross & technical (wet) decontamination will be conducted only on a partial numbers of total victims. • Bomb Arson portion of the exercise will occur at the same time as other response activities.
