Cuyahoga County iii Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan


PREFACE Cuyahoga County

The Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) conducted its 2012–2015 Multi-

Year Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW) on June 21, 2012, in conjunction with the Ohio

Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) and has since produced this Multi-Year Training and

Exercise Plan (TEP).

The Cuyahoga County Multi-Year TEP is the roadmap for Cuyahoga County to accomplish the

priorities captured in the TEPW surveys from the participating agencies. Cuyahoga County has

pursued a coordinated homeland security strategy that combines building strengths, identifying

specific areas for improvement, and identifying training and exercises to strengthen the county’s

emergency prevention and regional response capabilities. Training and exercises play a crucial

role in this strategy, providing the county with a means of attaining, practicing, validating, and

improving new capabilities.

Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Mission Statement

In accordance with the Emergency Operations Plan of Cuyahoga County, our mission is to protect

lives, property, the environment, and the economy. We shall work to assist the emergency

operations of our governmental services to help our citizens to prevent, prepare for, respond to,

recover from, and mitigate the effects of major events and crisis situations. We are committed to

communicating, coordinating, and collaborating with our local, State, Federal, and other

stakeholders and partners to ensure the safety and meet the needs and expectations of the citizens

we serve.

Cuyahoga County 1 Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan


PURPOSE Cuyahoga County

The purpose of the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP) is to provide a follow-on

document to the Cuyahoga County Homeland Security Strategy. It is a living document that will

be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The Multi-Year TEP provides a roadmap for

Cuyahoga County to follow in accomplishing the priorities described in the Homeland Security

Strategy. Each priority is linked to an Improvement Plan (IP) effort. The priority is further linked

to the associated target capabilities that would facilitate accomplishment of a given priority as

well as the training and exercises that will assist in obtaining and/or validating those capabilities.

The Multi-Year TEP also provides a basis for participating jurisdictions to budget and apply for

grant funding for future training and exercise requirements.

Cuyahoga County shall also serve as the hub of training and education for State of Ohio Region 2

Planning Region. By advising Lorain County, Lake County, Geauga County, and Ashtabula

County, we are able to better serve the needs of our professional Public Safety Professionals

throughout Northeast Ohio. By training together, our continued goal of regional training effort

will bring our partners in public safety closer together so that we may all increase our functional

capacities together during a large scale incident.

Included in the Multi-Year TEP is the Training and Exercise Schedule, which provides a graphic

illustration of the proposed activities scheduled from July 2012 until December 2015. It is

representative of the natural progression that should take place in accordance with the building-

block approach to training and exercises.



AFTER ACTION REPORT (AAR) EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS Cuyahoga County

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this analysis is to summarize data from After Action Reports (AARs) for exercises

conducted in Cuyahoga County. This data provides a single source repository that was used to

facilitate the planning and conduct of the Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW).

The TEPW is an annual forum for developing, reviewing, and updating a Multi-Year Training and

Exercise Plan and Schedule. During the TEPW, program accomplishments to date are reviewed.

Jurisdictions review their progress and accomplishments over the previous year. They then

identify needed modifications and updates to the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Schedule.

The scope of this effort is the exercises that were conducted in calendar years 2010 and 2011.

Approach

The technical approach used was to review AARs and Improvement Plans (IPs) from exercise

events. To ensure a symmetrical analysis approach, an exercise summary template was

developed. This template contains the following information for each exercise in the scope of this

effort:

Exercise title

Exercise date

Evaluated objectives/capabilities for the exercise

A list of the areas for improvement analysis contained in the AAR

A review of the AAR corrective actions that are assigned to the objective/capability provides the

foundational data for this effort. Additional consideration is given to any other areas of the AARs

that point out the need for corrective actions or improvement by checking the IP in addition to

each write-up in the analysis section.

In some cases, the evaluated areas (objectives) listed in the exercise design summary of the AAR

are a subset of the Target Capabilities List (TCL). When this was the case, the exercise objective

was examined then mapped to a standard capability contained in the TCL. This provided a

standard analysis of the corrective actions/recommendations contained in the AARs grouped by

capability. Table 1 is an example of this capability assignment mapping.

Analysis

The examined data includes two tabletop exercises (TTXs), one functional exercise (FE), and five

full-scale exercises (FSEs), for a total of eight exercises. Seventeen different objectives/capabilities

are evaluated in the population of the exercises.

Figure 1 exhibits combined data of the number of exercises for:

The number of exercises for a particular capability

The total number of corrective actions/recommendations for a particular capability



Figure 1: Number of exercises and number of corrective actions/recommendations per capability

Results

As stated earlier, the TEPW is the forum for developing, reviewing, and updating a Multi-Year

Training and Exercise Plan and Schedule. During the TEPW, jurisdictional program progress and

accomplishments are reviewed. They then identify needed updates and modifications to the

Multi-Year Training and Exercise Schedule.

Information gleaned from this review can be cross-walked with the State’s Homeland Security

Strategy, and the improvement actions can be evaluated with the established priorities for the

jurisdictions.

PROGRAM PRIORITIES Cuyahoga County

An analysis of the After Action Reports (AARs) and Improvement Plans (IPs) from exercises

conducted during calendar years 2010 and 2011 indicated a need for a program focus on the

following priorities:

1. Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place. Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place is the

capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and

effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals) and/or the

organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population (and companion animals) to

areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In

addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.

2. Communications. Communications is the fundamental capability within disciplines and

jurisdictions that practitioners need to perform the most routine and basic elements of their

job functions. Agencies must be operable, meaning they must have sufficient wireless

communications to meet their everyday internal and emergency communication

requirements before they place value on being interoperable, i.e., able to work with other

agencies.

Communications interoperability is the ability of public safety agencies (police, fire,

emergency medical services [EMS]) and service agencies (public works, transportation,

hospitals, etc.) to talk within and across agencies and jurisdictions via radio and associated

communications systems, exchanging voice, data, and/or video with one another on

demand, in real time, when needed, and when authorized. It is essential that public safety

has the intra-agency operability it needs and that it builds its systems toward

interoperability.

3. Community Preparedness and Participation. The Community Preparedness and

Participation capability provides that everyone in America is fully aware, trained, and

practiced on how to prevent, protect/mitigate, prepare for, and respond to all threats and

hazards. This requires a role for citizens in personal preparedness, exercises, ongoing

volunteer programs, and surge capacity response. Specific capabilities for universal

preparedness, including knowledge of all-hazards (technological, natural, and terrorist

incidents) and related protective measures, skills, and supplies, will be determined through

a collaborative process with emergency responders.

4. Emergency Public Safety and Security Response. Emergency Public Safety and Security

Response is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major

event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as

appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other

response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through



recovery. Public safety and security response requires coordination among officials from

law enforcement, fire, and EMS.

5. Fire Incident Response Support. This capability provides coordination and

implementation of fire suppression operations, which include the following tasks:

assessing the scene, assigning resources, establishing an Incident Command System (ICS)

consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), communicating the

status of the situation, requesting additional resources, establishing a safe perimeter,

evacuating persons in danger, rescuing trapped victims, conducting fire suppression,

determining the cause of the fire(s), and ensuring the area is left in a safe condition. This

capability further includes support necessary to prepare the community and reduce

vulnerabilities in the event of a major event.

MULTI-YEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE SCHEDULE Cuyahoga County

The Cuyahoga County’s Training and Exercise Schedule uses a building-block approach to plan

training courses and exercises based on the county’s priorities. The building-block approach

outlines a training and exercise regimen that maximizes mutual reinforcement, allows for sensible

preparation (e.g., equipment purchase or training courses), and ensures progression in exercise

complexity. These projected training and exercise activities are scheduled from July 2012 to

December 31, 2015.

Cuyahoga County B-1 Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan


APPENDIX B: EXERCISE AND TRAINING SOURCES Cuyahoga County

Preparedness cycle

As illustrated in the Preparedness Cycle, training is the precursor to

exercises and the foundation of competency. Given the breadth of first

responder and homeland security support disciplines and the number

of personnel within each discipline, obtaining and managing training

can be an overwhelming task. In order for Cuyahoga County to

establish and implement a sound Homeland Security Training and

Exercise Program, it is imperative that each agency or discipline have a

central point of contact (POC) to interface with the Cuyahoga County

Office of Emergency Management (OEM). Establishing this organizational structure will

streamline the training and exercise process and reduce operational burden. Further, it will

provide visibility to all agencies and create a collaborative environment that will benefit all

agencies and stakeholders. The information below outlines training for homeland security

practitioners as provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s)

National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) (http://training.fema.gov), FEMA’s Technical Assistance

Program, and other known sources. The opportunities listed are a means to obtain technical

assistance and training that with practiced skills will better prepare Cuyahoga County for future

events, both local and catastrophic. As mentioned, all trainings should be coordinated through the

Cuyahoga County OEM.

FEMA Online Courses

The NPD online course catalog provides searchable, integrated information on courses provided

or managed by FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), Emergency Management

Institute (EMI), and National Training and Education Division (NTED).

Emergency Management Institute (EMI)

Through its courses and integrated programs, EMI (http://training.fema.gov/EMICourses/) serves

as the national focal point for the development and delivery of

emergency management training to enhance the capabilities of

State, local, and tribal government officials; volunteer

organizations; FEMA’s disaster workforce; other Federal

agencies; and the public and private sectors to minimize the

impact of disasters and emergencies on the American public.

EMI curricula are structured to meet the needs of this diverse

audience with an emphasis on separate organizations working

together in all-hazards emergencies to save lives and protect

Cuyahoga County B-1 Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan


property. Particular emphasis is placed on governing doctrine such as the National Response

Framework (NRF), National Incident Management System (NIMS), and National Preparedness

Guidelines (NPG).

National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC)

The National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) (http://www.ndpc.us/) is a professional

alliance sponsored through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (US DHS)/FEMA/NPD.

The consortium is made up of seven members, and each of these organizations has distinguished

themselves nationally as experts in chemicals, explosives, radiological/nuclear devices,

bioterrorism, counter-terrorism, agro-terrorism, and emergency management systems. The NDPC

reflects the missions of all these organizations with its commitment to provide quality, cost-

effective counter-terrorism training to the nation’s emergency responders.

Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP)

Train at the Nation's premier all-hazards training center! FEMA’s CDP

(http://cdp.dhs.gov), located in Anniston, AL, is the US DHS's only federally

chartered weapons of mass destruction (WMD) training center.

Regional Training

There are other numerous regional training opportunities such as those

provided by regional Federal partners to include:

Lorain County, Lake County Geauga County, and Ashtabula County

US Coast Guard (USCG)

National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC)

These are but a few examples of training providers that may be considered.

Most important in pursuing training is to match the training to Cuyahoga

County’s homeland security priorities as noted in the earlier section of this

document.

APPENDIX C: EXERCISE TYPES Cuyahoga County

Discussion-Based Exercises

Discussion-based exercises are normally used as a starting point in the building-block approach to

the cycle, mix, and range of exercises. Discussion-based exercises include seminars, workshops,

tabletop exercises (TTXs), and games. These types of exercises typically highlight existing plans,

policies, mutual-aid agreements (MAAs), and procedures. Thus, they are exceptional tools for

familiarizing agencies and personnel with current or expected jurisdictional capabilities.

Discussion-based exercises typically focus on strategic, policy-oriented issues; operations-based

exercises focus more on tactical, response-related issues. Facilitators and/or presenters usually

lead the discussion, keeping participants on track while meeting the objectives of the exercise.

Seminars

Seminars are generally used to orient participants to or provide an overview of authorities,

strategies, plans, policies, procedures, protocols, response resources, or concepts and ideas.

Seminars provide a good starting point for jurisdictions that are developing or making major

changes to their plans and procedures. They offer the following attributes:

Informal discussions led by a seminar leader

Lack of time constraints caused by real-time portrayal of incidents

Low-stress environment employing a number of instruction techniques such as lectures, multi-media

presentations, panel discussions, case study discussion, expert testimony, and decision support tools

Proven effectiveness with both small and large groups

Workshops

Workshops represent the second tier of exercises in the Homeland Security Exercise and

Evaluation Program (HSEEP) building-block approach. Although similar to seminars, workshops

differ in two important aspects: participant interaction is increased, and the focus is on achieving

or building a product (such as a plan or a policy). Workshops provide an ideal forum for the

following:

Building teams

Collecting or sharing information

Obtaining consensus

Obtaining new or different perspectives

Problem solving of complex issues

Testing new ideas, processes, or procedures

Training groups in coordinated activities

In conjunction with exercise development, workshops are most useful in achieving specific

aspects of exercise design such as the following:

Determining evaluation elements and standards of performance



Determining program or exercise objectives

Developing exercise scenario and key events listings

A workshop may be used to produce new standard operating procedures (SOPs), Emergency

Operations Plans (EOPs), MAAs, Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plans (TEPs), and

Improvement Plans (IPs). To be effective, workshops must be highly focused on a specific issue,

and the desired outcome or goal must be clearly defined.

Potential relevant topics and goals are numerous, but all workshops share the following common

attributes:

Effective with both small and large groups

Facilitated, working breakout sessions

Goals oriented toward an identifiable product

Information conveyed employing different instructional techniques

Lack of time constraint from real-time portrayal of incidents

Low-stress environment

No-fault forum

Plenary discussions led by a workshop leader

Tabletop Exercises (TTXs)

TTXs involve key personnel, senior staff, and elected or appointed officials who discuss

hypothetical scenarios in an informal setting. This type of exercise can be used to assess plans,

policies, and procedures or to assess the systems needed to guide the prevention of, response to,

and recovery from a defined incident. TTXs typically are aimed at facilitating understanding of

concepts, identifying strengths and shortfalls, and achieving changes in the approach to a

particular situation. Participants are encouraged to discuss issues in depth and develop decisions

through slow-paced problem solving, rather than the rapid, spontaneous decision making that

occurs under actual or simulated emergency conditions. The effectiveness of a TTX is derived

from the energetic involvement of participants and their assessment of recommended revisions to

current policies, procedures, and plans.

TTX methods are divided into two categories: basic and advanced. In a basic TTX, the situation

established by the scenario materials remains constant. It describes an emergency incident (i.e.,

scenario) and brings discussion participants up to the simulated present time. Players apply their

knowledge and skills to a list of problems presented by the leader/moderator; problems are

discussed as a group; and the leader generally agrees on and summarizes the resolutions.

In an advanced TTX, play revolves around delivery of pre-scripted messages to players that alter

the original scenario. The exercise controller (or moderator) usually introduces problems one at a

time in the form of a written message, simulated telephone call, videotape, or other means.

Participants discuss the issues raised by the simulated problem, applying appropriate plans and

procedures.

TTX attributes may include the following:



Achieving limited or specific objectives

Assessing interagency coordination

Conducting a specific case study

Examining personnel contingencies

Familiarizing senior officials with a situation

Participating in information sharing

Practicing group problem solving

Testing group message interpretation

Operations-Based Exercises

Operations-based exercises represent the next iteration of the exercise cycle and are utilized to

validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures solidified in discussion-based exercises.

Operations-based exercises include drills, functional exercises (FEs), and full-scale exercises

(FSEs). They can clarify roles and responsibilities, identify gaps in resources needed to implement

plans and procedures, and improve individual and team performance. Operations-based exercises

are characterized by actual response, mobilization of apparatus and resources, and commitment

of personnel, usually over an extended period of time.

Drills

A drill is a coordinated, supervised activity usually used to test a single specific operation or

function in a single agency. Drills are commonly used to provide training on new equipment,

develop or test new policies or procedures, or practice and maintain current skills. Typical

attributes include the following:

A narrow focus, measured against established standards

Instant feedback

Performance in isolation

Realistic environment

Functional Exercises (FEs)

An FE is designed to validate and evaluate individual capabilities, multiple functions, activities

within a function, or interdependent groups of functions. Incidents are projected through an

exercise scenario with incident updates that drive activity at the management level. An FE

simulates the reality of operations in a functional area by presenting complex and realistic

problems that require rapid and effective responses by trained personnel in a highly stressful,

time-constrained environment.

Response and recovery-focused FEs generally concentrate on exercising the plans, policies,

procedures, and staffs of the direction and control branches of Incident Command (IC), Unified

Command (UC), and/or multi-agency coordination centers (e.g., emergency operation centers

[EOCs]). Movement of personnel and equipment is simulated.

Prevention-focused FEs usually concentrate on exercising the plans, policies, procedures,

agreements, networks, and staffs of fusion centers or law enforcement agencies with



counterterrorism missions. Adversary actions are largely simulated and delivered in the form of

shared intelligence; however, some of these actions may be carried out by simulated adversaries,

or Red Teams, in a separate but coordinated category of exercise play. HSEEP Prevention

Exercises ( https://hseep.dhs.gov), formerly known as HSEEP Volume V, provides an overview of

prevention exercises; information on the Terrorism Prevention Exercise Program (TPEP); and

guidance and instruction on how to plan, conduct, and evaluate a prevention-focused exercise.

The TPEP uses a series of pilot exercises to develop and validate prevention exercise tools and

methodologies.

HSEEP Prevention Exercises presumes that standard HSEEP methodology as outlined in HSEEP

Volumes I–III will be followed and therefore focuses only on those areas in which prevention

exercise tools and methodologies diverge from or supplement standard HSEEP guidance.

Full-Scale Exercises (FSEs)

The FSE is the most complex type of exercise. FSEs are multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional, multi-

organizational exercises that validate many facets of preparedness. They focus on implementing

and analyzing the plans, policies, procedures, and cooperative agreements developed in

discussion-based exercises and honed in previous, smaller, operations-based exercises. In FSEs,

the reality of operations in multiple functional areas presents complex and realistic problems that

require critical thinking, rapid problem solving, and effective responses by trained personnel.

During FSEs, incidents are projected through a scripted exercise scenario with built-in flexibility

to allow updates to drive activity. FSEs are conducted in real time, creating a stressful, time-

constrained environment that closely mirrors real incidents. The level of support needed to

conduct an FSE is greater than that needed during other types of exercises.

Response-focused FSEs include many first responders operating under the principles of the

National Incident Management System (NIMS) to effectively and efficiently respond to an

incident. Personnel and resources are mobilized and deployed to the scene where they conduct

their activities as if a real incident had occurred (with minor exceptions). An FSE also may include

functional play from participants not located at the exercise incident response site, such as multi-

agency coordination centers (MACCs), EOCs, or hospitals.

Typical FSE attributes include the following:

Activating personnel and equipment

Allocating resources and personnel

Analyzing memorandums of understanding (MOUs), SOPs, plans, and policies

Assessing equipment capabilities

Assessing organizational and individual performance

Assessing organizational and individual performance

Demonstrating interagency cooperation

Exercising public information systems

Testing communications systems and procedures



The level of support needed to conduct an FSE is greater than needed during other types of

exercises. The exercise site is usually extensive with complex site logistics. Food and water must

be supplied to participants and volunteers. Safety issues, including those surrounding the use of

props and special effects, must be monitored.

FSE controllers ensure that participants’ behavior remains within predefined boundaries.

Simulation Cell controllers continuously inject scenario elements to simulate real incidents.

Evaluators observe behaviors and compare them against established plans, policies, procedures,

and standard practices (if applicable). Safety controllers ensure all activity is conducted within a

safe environment.
