Enclosure 2 Accountability Drill - Observed security personnel activities at Guard Island
.
Positive Comments
'
Announcements over page very clear; communications between CR &GI very
good.
Security personnel were knowledgeable of duties during accountability /
evacuation and followed procedures (ER-4.1).
Accountability completed in 24-25 minutes, 12 people missing. Security
initiated paging these missing people and continued paging throughout the drill and even after drill was terminated.
(By 0351, all but 8 people were found - security continued to look).
Security supervisor explained what further response would take place, i.e.,
check w/ individual's supervisor; check person's last known whereabouts, etc.
.
Negative Comment
.
There appeared to be an inordinate number of security personnel at GI for
this drill. However, I was informed that this was about normal for night shift. There were about 10 total, including the security supervisor.
In general, the accountability drill was satisfactory.
