2010 Exercise Program

The 2011 Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program is comprised of the following four phases:

Phase I - Multi-Media Training

This training will focus on resource requesting and provide strategic knowledge to health care providers and local government partners on how to request and utilize the resources available in California.

Phase II - Organizational Self Assessment

A web-based assessment tool will be developed to assist in identifying organizational resources, strengths, barriers, and needed improvement in requesting resources during a medical surge.

As the exercise planner, you may choose to distribute the Organizational Self Assessment tool to agencies with a role in emergency response, in advance of, and in preparation for, both the Phase III Tabletop Exercise and Phase IV Statewide Functional Exercise. 

Phase III - Tabletop Exercise

Exercise planners will facilitate a tabletop exercise for partner agencies and organizations. The exercise will focus on resource requesting during a medical surge.

Phase IV - Statewide Medical & Health Exercise

This exercise will build on the lessons of the Multi-Media Training, Organizational Self Assessment, and Tabletop Exercise. November 17, 2011 is the scheduled date for the Statewide Medical & Health Exercise.
