Welcome!
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) are pleased to present the 2012 Statewide Medical and Health Training and Exercise program. This year’s exercise will focus on the Homeland Security Target Capabilities of Communications, Information/Intelligence Sharing and Dissemination, Medical Surge and Emergency Operations Center Management, and the exercise scenario is a loss of power due to earthquake.
A workgroup comprised of representatives from CDPH, EMSA, the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA), California Hospital Association (CHA), California Primary Care Association (CPCA), California Association of Health Facilities (CAHF), representatives from Local Health Departments (LHD), Local Emergency Medical Services Agencies (LEMSA), and Regional Disaster Medical Health Specialists (RDMHS) has developed a four phased Statewide Medical and Health Training and Exercise program. Exercise tools for each phase have been developed to guide local exercise planners through the process of developing, planning and conducting the exercise program for their organization/jurisdiction.
