2008 Citywide Emergency Response Exercise
On Saturday, April 26, 2008, 9:00am - 12 noon, the City of Oakland Fire Department Office of Emergency Services will conduct a citywide emergency response exercise. This Citywide Exercise will focus on each CORE Group's ability to establish, operate and manage a Neighborhood Incident Command Center, with an emphasis on the First Aid Response Team. A range of simulated incidents will occur in neighborhoods throughout the city to which CORE Groups will need to respond.
Active CORE Groups, ham radio operators from the Oakland Radio Communication Association (ORCA), and Oakland firefighters will participate in the exercise and respond to incidents in their neighborhood. The exercise is designed to test the capacity of:
1. CORE neighborhoods to establish, operate and maintain a Neighborhood Incident Command Center (NICC),
2. CORE neighborhoods to establish, operate and maintain a First Aid Station,
3. CORE neighborhood First Aid Response Team members to respond to a variety of injury scenarios,
4. CORE neighborhoods to integrate potentially untrained neighbors as Spontaneous Volunteers.
In addition to these primary objectives, each CORE Group can determine if they want to test additional response strategies, such as a neighborhood evacuation or fire drill.
