We are headed over to Pensacola today to set up for the Escambia County Airline Crash Exercise. My center (http://cdrp.net) is worked with Escambia County Public Safety to develop the exercise, and tomorrow we will assist them in putting it on. The exercise is a interesting blend between the Escambia Regional Airport exercise and an HSEEP (Homeland Security Exercise Evaluation Protocol) compliant exercise being conducted by Escambia County Emergency Management. We facilitated the County side development process and we are going to act as exercise controllers and exercise evaluators tomorrow, which is always my favorite part. I will be acting as a controller during the exercise, which means I will basically stand around and make sure that everything stays on track. Since exercises, particularly multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency exercises like this one, try their best to go off the rails, my job can call for some creative thinking to keep everyone pointing in the correct direction.
Today is set up at the airport, and we will get our final look at how the coordination for the city/airport side of the exercise is shaping up. Since we don't control that, it's not that big a deal to us, but it will prove interesting nonetheless.
I'll be posting more as things develop.
