Two full scale exercises are coming up for our region soon, and we need your help! GDAHA, MMRS, Premier Health, and Mercy Health are sponsoring “Dawn of a New Day” MCI exercises involving terrorism, an active shooter incident, and an IED.
· The first exercise will be September 27th, based at Miami Valley Hospital, and involve multiple other locations, including Miami Valley Hospital North, Miami Valley Hospital South, and Jamestown Emergency Department. Exercise will begin for RTF and most law enforcement at approximately 1230, and non-RTF EMS will need to be in place by 1315 Hours. Exercise will end by no later than 1700, and probably earlier. Con Ed hours will be given for this exercise.
· The second exercise will be October 4th, based at Springfield Regional Medical Center, and involve multiple other locations, including Mercy Health Urbana. Exercise will begin for RTF and most law enforcement at approximately 0930, and non-RTF EMS will need to be in place by 1015 Hours. Exercise will end by no later than 1300, and probably earlier. Con Ed hours may not be available for this exercise.
There will be a command structure established at each location (IC; EMS; Triage, Treatment, Transport Officer, Communications Aide, etc.). Personnel may be used in some of those roles at the discretion of IC.
- We need three to four staffed Medic Units.
- Both exercises will involve the Regional Rescue Task Force, and we need at least eight RTF personnel plus one RTFL for Unified Command.
We are also in need of EMS personnel as Controllers and Evaluators. To be involved in any way for this exercise, just send an email to david.gerstner@daytonohio.gov.
