AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
Exercise Planning:
The scenario inputs were developed by people with field experience. Each sit-
uation had as its objective the exercise of some particular function of our
emergency organization. The writers attempted to allow sufficient time between
inputs that responses could be made rationally and so that any problems arising
from a response could manifest themselves. As with any scenario, realism was
balanced against real time constraints to meet learning objectives.
We consider this approach to have been successful. It can be much improved by
the use of one scenario team member from each major department and by soliciting
training objectives (not specific problems) from supporting agencies. In this
way we can avoid slighting any agency which could reasonably benefit from and
contribute to the exercise.
We have learned that any exercise which involves general administration or
public works personnel should be scheduled for working hours. We know that it
would not be economically feasible to mobilize our entire work forces on a holiday
for anything but a real situation. We found that public works and administration
functions cannot be carried out without the support of staff, even though the
need of any one person may be only momentary. This problem exists in lesser de-
gree for Police and Fire services who are geared and staffed for round -the -clock
operation. It would be possible to carry out a limited participation exercise
during working hours without disrupting most city functions, and there would be
access to staff members as necessary.
The Emergency Operations Center:
The greatest single problem at the EOC was'internal communications.
We found that radio operators too remote from the department head for voice con-
tact introduces delay and compounds other problems of information flow in the
EOC. It is desirable to have radio operators, for each department, but the de-
partment head should be capable of communicating directly with his field officer
where appropriate.
The radios we used were "bleeding over" on the other frequencies used. This pro -
blem should be solved by whatever means necessary. We found that hand -held units
could not transmit to anywhere outside of the building.
Any transmission made through an operator should be written and a usable message
form should be developed and provided for the purpose.
We have no provision for radio communications from the EOC for supporting agencies.
We do not know how much of a hindrance this was in Sunday's problem, but it could
be significant in later operations.
The acoustic characteristics of the room were hideous, at best. This should be
improved by some form of sound deadening material if the room is to continue in
this use.
The lack of a "status board ", an adequate map and people trained to maintain them
was the most serious flaw in internal communications in the EOC. Supporting agen-
cies were not kept informed of the situation, which was a serious error. It has
been pointed out that we lost a great deal of the potential of the agencies present
by addressing requests for aid to specific agencies without posting the problem on
a board. Other agencies who might have had a solution at hand were never made a-
ware of the problem.
Our own departments found themselves "running rabbits" after a problem had already
been solved, and the effect was probably more pronounced for supporting agencies.
We had problems in keeping up with the disposition of units in the field which could
have been remedied by map maintenance and by periodic reporting from the field com-
mand post.
The layout of the EOC could have been improved. Supporting agencies should be
grouped by general function and in close proximity to the City officer responsible
for that function. We believe that we should try also to retain voice contact
among the City department heads by any arrangement that we adopt.
We found that most of our people in the EOC will require their own clerical support
close at hand. This is necessary in order to keep up with a developing situation- -
such an individual may assist in analyzing the situation for periodic briefings
or reports. Supporting agencies will probably face the same need in an extended
operation.
Clerical needs together with a functinal layout brings about a potential space
problem and will require a different telephone set up. We consider tailoring the
EOC personnel to each operation as it developes and providing alternate space for
functions which could meet demands of a given situation without intimate contact
with the EOC itself.
.1) '
It was pointed out that ear�l contact with the Department of Public Safety and
/ ,c regular advisory contact is�`beneficial. Their standing procedures for notification
/ of other agencies provides a�backu p our own notification procedures. We demon-
~ strated that each of our departments should devote some study to available support
,(, and services and preplan their potential uses.
; Field Command Post:
The command post suffered some of the same problems which beset the EOC. Our
i A Standing Operating Procedures call for the three officers on the scene to group
their vehicles so that they can have voice contact with one another and constant
use of their radios. This was not done, and internal communication within the CP
was not what it could have been. This contributed to communications problems at
the EOC and led directly to some misrouted radio traffic. The public works OIC
was not utilized in the problem to the extent he might have been, and this too was
reflected in some confusion at the EOC. Our field commanders must religiously ob-
serve an arrangement that allows them to communicate with one another. With present
equipment we know of no other way to do it.

Charles Yeager Field Operations -Fire Department
Field Operations - Public Works:
Public Works was not scheduled to function in the field. In an actual situation
they would have initially been assigned tasks similar to those performed by Texas
State Guard personnel.
COMMAND POST CRITIQUE - POLICE DEPARTMENT
COMMUNICATIONS WAS GOOD BETI €BEN THE POST AND THE E.O.C. FOR
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THERE WERE FEW DELAYS OR NON CONTACT
BETWEEN THE E.O.C. RADIO OPERATOR AND MYSELF. OUR COMMUNICA-
TIONS BETWEEN THE THREE CITY OFFICERS ON THE POST SUFFERED
DUE TO OUR POSITION, HOWEVER TO POSITION THE VEHICLES FOR
MAXIMUM RESULTS WOULD HAVE MEANT A ROADBLOCK, WHICH WAS
INAPPROPRIATE FOR A SIMULATION HAZARD. WE DO KNOW THAT IF
THE REAL THING HAPPENS, WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO
POSITION THE POST VEHICLES FOR MAXIMUM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN .
US AND ALSO SERVE AS A ROADBLOCK WHERE NECCESSARY. COMMUNI-
CATIONS BETWEEN THE POST AND THE STATE GUARD WAS NIL, THEY
. HAD NO ONE AT THE POST WITH A RADIO WHICH CAUSED DELAYS AND
UNCERTAINTY. THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THIS AND SHOULD USE THE
INFORMATION IN THE FUTURE. - UNNECCESSARY TRANSMISSIONS ON THE
POLICE RADIO COULD HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED BY THE USE OF A
STATUS BOARD AT THE E.O.C. AND AT THE COMMAND POST. FOR A
SIMULATED EXERCISE, I THOUGHT THE DRILL WENT FAIRLY WELL IN
THE FIELD, SINCE IT - WAS DIFFICULT TO WC _K WITH ASSUMPTIONS
AND SIMULATIONS AND NOT BEING ABU, TO SEE OR KNOW THE ACTUAL
HAZARDS AND REMEDIES AND NORMAL TIME SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.

Dear Jake:
First, I want to thank you for the external disaster exercise on
Sunday, April 8, 1979. The hospital had some rough edges, but overall
the exercise went smoothly from your part of the exercise.
The following is requested for a future exercise.
1. The hospital received a phone cell 15 minutes ,rior to the
arrival of the mock victims. The Civil Defense net no other
radios were not used.
We would like to have an earlier radio warning when possible to
give more advance warning.
2. The 15 minute notification is not enough to call key people
at home, and exercise the disaster recall with the disaster
exercise. T1a people present at the hospital handled the
exercise.
3. The victims arrived at 3:05 which is during the 3:PM shift
change for the hospital. This did provide extra personnel
for the exercise, but it is not typical for 7 hours cut of
an 8 hour shift.
4. The exercise was on Sunday PM during a race weekend. weekends
are a bad time for exercises as the Emergency Room is the
busiest on weekends. Having real patients between mock
victims can disconcerning to real patients, and r_cck victims
reel they are not getting proper care for their injury. It
is difficult to separate the real and still do the exercise.
5. As part of our disaster plan we triage to Bryan Hospital. We
would like to have an exercise where the victims are brought
to St. Joseph Hospital and then some are triage to Bryan
Hcspital.
6. In the past there was a Civil Defense representative at the
hospital during the exercise. We would like to have Civil
Defense representative on the next exercise.
Again, I would like to thank you for the coordination of the exer-
cise and the eight excellent mock victims. The simulation kit added real -
ism to the exercise.
Sincerely yours,

6. Need a chronology of todays order of events - Jake
will get with Koehler to review with the eye to tightening
and arranging procedures for EOC.
Jake gave Bill the problem and Bill developed the scenario.
Hunter - a good problem, Beautiful. Need form problem to who
we never knew when the problem was self.
For simulation exercise need a problem status board. Internal
briefing needed
PIO should do the briefing Jerry Graves?
