Exercise Objectives and Core Capabilities The following exercise objectives in Table 1 describe the expected outcomes for the exercise. The objectives are linked to core capabilities, which are distinct critical elements necessary to achieve the specific mission area(s). The objectives and aligned core capabilities are guided by elected and appointed officials and selected by the Exercise Planning Team. Exercise Objective Core Capability Assess the communications process internally and externally, based on local policies and Operational Communications procedures. Review redundant communication modalities Operational Communications within and across response partners. Determine strengths and weaknesses in activation of medical and health partners surge Public Health and Medical Services plans. Identify critical issues and potential solutions. Identify the process to activate the ICS in Operational Coordination and response to an emerging infectious disease. Incident Management Determine specific levels necessary based on scenario and local policies and procedures. Operational Coordination and Identify the steps in developing an IAP and Incident Management conducting associated briefings. Identify the processes for medical and health Operational Coordination and partners to provide current situational Incident Management information to the MHOAC Program Examine the MHOAC process to Operational Coordination and Program’s develop and submit a Medical Health Situation Incident Management Reports consistent with the EOM. Identify the process for medical and health Public and Private Services and partners across the response system to request, Resources distribute, track, and return medical countermeasure resources, including scarce resources, consistent with the EOM. Validate the processes in place to activate the Public and Private Services and local disaster medical volunteer system. Resources Validate the process for epidemiological surveillance information communication and Public Health and Medical Services coordination among Medical Health partners, including; CDPH, LHD, Hospitals (specifically between infection prevention, and LHD
