2009 CORE Citywide Emergency Response Functional Exercise
On Saturday, April 25, 2009, 9:00am - 11:30am, the Oakland Fire Department, Office of Emergency Services will conduct a citywide emergency response exercise. The purpose of the event is to provide practice for all exercise participants in responding to a simulated 6.7 magnitude earthquake on the Hayward Fault centered near Mills College. A range of simulated incidents will occur in neighborhoods throughout the city to which CORE Groups will need to respond.
The goal of this Citywide Exercise is for each participating CORE Group to successfully operate a Disaster First Aid Station within the Neighborhood Incident Command structure.
Participants of the April 25, 2009 Citywide Exercise will include CORE volunteers, City staff, Oakland Firefighters, Ham Radio operators, and any others who would like to be involved. All organized CORE Groups are invited to host the exercise in their neighborhoods, and individuals without organized neighborhoods will be matched with hosting groups. If your CORE Group would like to participate, please contact the CORE Coordinator at 510-238-6351 or core@oaklandnet.com.
We also need several dozen volunteers to act as simulated Victims, Exercise Monitors, and Spontaneous Volunteers. If you would like to participate in any of these capacities, please contact the CORE Coordinator at the information listed in the above paragraph to sign up.
The objectives for each participating CORE Group are to:
- Manage a Neighborhood Incident Command Center.
- Run a Disaster First Aid Station and treat victims with various injuries.
- Integrate untrained neighbors as Spontaneous Volunteers.
- Identify evacuation plans and practice using evacuation routes.
In addition to these primary objectives, each CORE Group can determine if they want to test additional response strategies such as establishing an emergency shelter.
