~2DFEMA December 23, 2013 Mr. Don Tailleart Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike, Mail Stop T3B46M Rockville, MD 20852
Dear Mr. Tailleart:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Final After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the Full Participation Exercise for the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Indian Point Energy Center held on October 2, 2012. Also included are the evaluations of 71 out of sequence drills and demonstrations held in the 2-year cycle associated with this exercise.
New York State and local governments successfully demonstrated the capability to implement their off-site radiological emergency response plans and procedures, based on the evaluation of this exercise by the FEMA Region II Regional Assistance Committee and a team of Federal evaluators. There were no deficiencies. Nine (9) new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified; 2 of these ARCAs were corrected by redemonstration. All five prior ARCAs were also determined to have been resolved. The remaining issues have been addressed, and will be re-evaluated at the next biennial exercise in 2014. Therefore, we find that State and local preparedness is adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Indian Point Energy Center and there is reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On October 2, 2012 an exercise was conducted in-the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC). The exercise was evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region II. The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate and assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.
The most recent previous exercise at this site was conducted on September 14, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on March 3, 1982.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in New York State; Westchester, Rockland, Orange, and Putnam Counties in New York; and Bergen County, New Jersey who participated in this exercise.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. The cooperation and teamwork of all participants were evident during this exercise.
This report contains the draft evaluation of the biennial exercise and of the following out-of-sequence activities in Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties: Day Cares and School Interviews; Reception Centers; Congregate Care Centers; Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Centers; General and Special Population Bus Companies; School Bus Companies; Traffic Control Points; and Medical Services Drills.
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, satisfactorily demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.
There were no Deficiencies and 9 new Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCAS) identified; Two of these ARCAS were corrected on the spot. In addition, all 5 prior ARCAS were resolved by demonstration.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN
SUMMARY
2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region II Office evaluated the full participation, plume exercise on October 2, 2012 to assess the capabilities of the local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC). The purpose of this report is to present the results of the findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations during a simulated radiological emergency.
2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all FEMA Region II REP Program objectives and observations in this exercise.
-Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination (MAC) for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. EOC management includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, state, and federal EOCs; coordination of public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.
- Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.
- Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place: Is the capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals), and/or the organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population 16
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center (and companion animals) to areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.
- Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire, and EMS.
- Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources of contamination and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.
- Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the American Red Cross (ARC), or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special-needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs addressed by the medical community and/or its alternate care facilities. State and Federal entities also play a role in public and environmental health by ensuring safe conditions, safe food, potable water, sanitation, clean air, etc.
17
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment: Is the capability to appropriately dispatch EMS resources; to provide feasible, suitable, and medically acceptable pre-'hospital triage and treatment of patients; to provide transport as well as medical care en-route to an appropriate receiving facility; and to track patients to a treatment facility.

ISSUE NO.: 32-12-5al-P-02 CRITERION: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current REP guidance.
CONDITION: The initial, second and third EAS messages did not make reference to REP specific emergency information (e.g., brochures and information in telephone books or calendars) for use by the general public during an emergency.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This is not required by New York State Procedures 41
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-1, E.5,6, and 7. Criterion 5.a. 1.
EFFECT: The general public may not receive all the necessary information.
RECOMMENDATION: Place this requirement in applicable NY State plans/procedures.
- e.
NOT DEMONSTRATED: None
- f.
PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: 5.a.1.
ISSUE NO.: 32-10-5al-A-01 ISSUE: During the preparation of the third EAS message, there was confusion between Orange County and the State EOC. The OCEOC listed specific instructions and areas to be evacuated and announced in the EAS. These areas are mentioned in OC's Evacuation Plans. The State EOC was more general in the writing of the EAS.
For example, instead of writing "Town of Cornwall East of Rt. 32 is to be evacuated" the State EOC wrote "Town of Cornwall is to be evacuated." This would have the effect of directing members of the public outside the 10-mile EPZ to evacuate. The State mentioned there was an issue with their pre-scripted EAS messages. The OCEOC advised the State EOC to review the county's Radiological Emergency Response Plans for specific localities and area descriptions in the Orange County portion of the 10-mile EPZ. The discussions between the OCEOC and the State to correct the EAS message delayed its release and also delayed the sounding of the sirens, possibly putting members of the public at risk.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Although the Town of Cornwall was not included in protective actions during this exercise, the Town of Cornwall was included in the practice exercise that took place on 09/08/12. EAS messages were reviewed from this exercise and the Town of Cornwall (South of Angola Road) was a specified protective action area. Based on this, this ARCA is closed.

ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3d2-A-04 CRITERION: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved.
CONDITION: The Orange County Public Information Officer was not informed of the alternate evacuation route as a result of a traffic impediment (simulated rollover of a tractor trailer carrying milk) at 12:22. There is potential for this information not to be appropriately and adequately communicated out to the public who will be evacuating, thereby increasing the potential for increase in traffic congestion that would slow the evacuation process.
The FEMA REP Program Manual dated April 2012 states under Criterion 3.d.2 "Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved: The impediment must occur during the evacuation and be on an evacuation route such that re-routing of traffic is required, triggering decision making and coordination with the JIC to communicate the alternative route to evacuees leaving the area".
45
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center POSSIBLE CAUSE: Proper coordination/communication between law enforcement, the Command and General Staff and the Public Information officer to make the PIO aware of the problem and issue the proper press release and other communications is not addressed in the plan.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-l, J. 10.k EFFECT: There is great potential for additional traffic congestion if the public is not properly informed of evacuation route detours.
RECOMMENDATION: Closer coordination should occur between law enforcement operations, Command and General Staff and the Public Information Officer to ensure that effects of a detour from the evacuation route are properly communicated to the public. This coordination should be laid out within the Orange County plan to ensure that all parties are aware of their responsibilities.

ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3c2-P-03 CRITERION: OROs/school officials implement protective actions for schools.
CONDITION: The current Orange County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (OCCEMP) Appendix Two (2) - Special Facilities does not designate by name or position the person responsible for the notification of day cares within the Orange County Emergency Planning Zone. As such, who would be responsible for notifying the four registered day care centers reflected in the OCCEMP was left in doubt during the exercise. During interviews, two separate answers were given as to who would be responsible for notifications of day cares by the BOCES representative and the Operations Section Chief.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Current Orange County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (OCCEMP), policies and procedures do not specifically delegate 46
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center the responsibility of notifications to day care facilities or private schools to an individual or position.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.c, d, e, g EFFECT: There is a potentially delayed notification of a vulnerable population that might require additional time to safely evacuate.
RECOMMENDATION: OCCEMP should be modified to be more specific as to who is responsible for notification of both private schools and day care centers located within the EPZ.
ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3dl-P-04 CRITERION: Appropriate traffic and access control is established. Accurate instructions are provided to traffic and access control personnel.
CONDITION: Traffic and Access Control is not adequately addressed in the new Orange County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan dated May of 2012.
Appendix 3: Maps and Displays do not include a map or display of the traffic and access control points as required by NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. Current plans do not adequately address or describe the plans, policies and procedures that would be required for implementation.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: In the new Orange County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan many sections were streamlined in order to simplify the plan for implementation. The sections implementing this plan possess a strong institutional knowledge for how to execute this mission and do not rely heavily on written plans, policies and procedures and as such they are not fully described in the plan.

ISSUE NO.: 32-10-3c2-P-06 ISSUE: There are students in the Cornwall CSD and the Monroe Woodbury CSD, the John S.Burke Catholic High School and the Orange Ulster BOCES who live inside the EPZ but go to schools that are outside the EPZ. When the Orange County portion of the EPZ was evacuated these students were retained at their schools to be picked up by their parents. Further conversation with the Schools Coordinator indicated that such retention would be the case for any such evacuation. Also parents had received information to this effect from their children's school and would be informed by media broadcasts during such an event, were it to occur. However, the 2009-2010 Orange County Indian Point Emergency Guide tells parents that many schools have plans in place for parents to pick up students before they are relocated and to check with the principal of ones children's schools about such plans. It also has a box with orange background, which states, "The school reception center for Orange County is South Jr. High school, 33-63 Monument St. Newburgh, NY. Refer to the foldout map for more information. TV and Radio broadcasts will keep you informed about the relocation of students to the school reception center." But it does not indicate that students living inside the EPZ going to schools outside it will be retained at their school for pick up. This could lead to confusion by some parents as to the proper action to take.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The 2012-2013 "Are you ready"?
Orange County Indian Point Emergency Guide has been updated to reflect the 48
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center following under the Schools and Summer Camps; if children are in school or at camp, the brochure states that "Students who reside within the EPZ but attend schools located outside the EPZ, will remain in those schools until picked up by their families, whether or not they are evacuating. No students will be transported into the EPZ" ISSUE NO.: 32-10-3dl-P-07 ISSUE: The TCPs are to be set up at SAE according to the Procedure 2 Law Enforcement 4.6.1.2. "The Sheriff, in conjunction with the State Police and local Police Departments, will order the establishment of traffic control checkpoints at the following locations to prevent unnecessary traffic from entering the 10-mile EPZ (see Table 7A of Appendix H)."
There are twenty TCPs in this table. Establishment of these TCPs involves from 3 to 16 cones at 18 checkpoints, and 8 barricades and a sign at the other two. At least some of these supplies are supposed to be provided by the Orange County Department of Public Works. However, their procedure is not quite consistent with the above. Procedure 7 Public Works 5. SAE 5.1.3 "The County Commissioner of Public Works will make available to law enforcement agencies any requested resources that can be spared (e.g. equipment, barricades etc.) to support the establishment of traffic control points. "
Rather than wait for the request the barricades, at least, should be put in place at SAE or EAS message, whichever is earlier. Cones, if needed could be provided to the police at their departments to take into the field. This procedure should also cite Table 7A.
There are 10 Access Control Points to the EPZ (Table 7B of Appendix H) Six of these are also TCPs. The ten ACPs require 51 barriers and 3 signs. There is a reference to access control along the evacuation route (Table 2 of Appendix H).
However, that table makes no reference to ACPs. These are to be established in the event of an evacuation according to both the police and DPW procedures. With the barricades and signs to be provided if requested according to the DPW evacuation 49
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center procedure ( General Evacuation Procedure I.A.3). Waiting for these requests, which would occur as the ACPs began to be staffed would delay their effectiveness.
Additional ACPs along the evacuation route are mentioned in both the Law Enforcement and Public Works procedures but none are noted in the table cited above.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Orange County recently enacted a new Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that drastically alters the previous procedures for dealing with traffic and access control. The specific references cited in this issue have been removed and the current plan effectively demonstrated an ability to implement traffic and access control in event of an incident at the Indian Point Energy Center.

ISSUE NO.: 32-12-6dl-A-03 CRITERION: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals.
CONDITION: During a MS-1 drill at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, surveys to detect 53
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center the presence and quantity of radiological contamination were not always in accordance with the hospital procedure. The hospital procedure requires that probe-to-surface distance should be approximately 1/2 inch. Contrary to the hospital procedure, most patient surveys were conducted with the probe several inches from the patient. When questioned, the technician was aware of the procedural requirement, but he continued to conduct surveys in the same manner.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The cause is not known. It should be noted that, as the procedure requires, the detector probe was covered in plastic, so there would normally be no concern with the potential for contaminating the probe.
REFERENCE:

ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3al-A-06 CRITERION: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. Appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers is maintained.
CONDITION: Many volunteers from Putnam County responded the reception center at Brewster High School. As a result, there was not enough dosimetry to go around.
Both male and female workers performed monitoring and decontamination activities without any dosimetry. The Reception Center Manager and Ares/Races representative did not have any dosimetry.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This was probably caused by the number of volunteers that responded. Also, there was no clear method of separating those who were there for training purposes from those who were playing in the exercise. Another possibility is that more dosimetry is needed at this facility.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA Rep-1, K.3.a EFFECT: If DRDs are not issued, a worker would have no indication of their exposure. Perhaps more importantly, without a DLR, there is no legal record of emergency worker dose.
RECOMMENDATION: Obtain a sufficient supply of dosimetry for this facility. If more people show up than are expected, clearly segregate those who are playing from 57

CONDITION: During a MS-I exercise at the Putnam Hospital Center, radiological 65
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
Afler Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center surveys were not sufficient to detect and locate the contamination on the patient's left hand (4,000 cpm on her palm).
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The cause is not known. It should be noted that radiological surveys did locate contamination on the patient's left ankle (2,000 cpm) and right hand (4,000 cpm).
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.5.a, L.1 and L.4 Putnam Hospital Center Procedure: Management of the Radioactively Contaminated Patient, April, 2012.
EFFECT: The patient could have potentially exited the REA with contamination on her hand RECOMMENDATION: During future training evolutions, emphasize the need to conduct full radiation surveys upon arrival of the patient, after each decontamination attempt and prior to the patient exiting the REA.

CONDITION: Protective Action Decisions changes made to the Utility Protective Action Recommendations by Rockland County are not required to be transmitted to Bergen County.
The current Rockland County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Section Procedure RC/BC 1 Section 5.3 EOC Operations requires Rockland County EOC to contact Bergen County with the following.
5.3 EOC Operations 5.3.1 Establish phone contact with Bergen County EOC and continuously (every 30 minutes) update them on the following information. Follow up the contact with a confirmatory fax or email.
Note: The Attachment 4 checklist can be used to transmit information to the Bergen County EOC.
- a. EOC activation status
- b. Emergency classification
- c. Protective action recommendations
- d. Metrologic conditions
- e. Plume definition data 68
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center POSSIBLE CAUSE: Need for closer coordination and more accurate in the decision making process between the two counties.
REFERENCE:
Rockland County Emergency Response Plan Section Procedure RC/BC-1, Section 5.3 EOC Operations EFFECT: The lack of accurate Protective Action Decision information being transmitted to Bergen County could result in conflicting priorities between Rockland and Bergen counties that may impact public safety.
RECOMMENDATION: The Rockland County Plan should be updated so that both Protective Action Recommendations made by the Utility and Protective Action Decisions made by Rockland County are required to be shared with Bergen County.
In addition a stronger emphasis should be placed on the use of the check list in, Procedure RC/BC-1, Section 5.3 EOC Operations.
ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3d2-P-06 CRITERION: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved.
CONDITION: The Public Information Officer was not informed of the alternate evacuation route as a result of a traffic impediment (simulated rollover of a tractor trailer carrying milk) at 12:22. There is potential for this information not to be appropriately and adequately communicated out to the public who will be evacuating, thereby increasing the potential for increase in traffic congestion that would slow the evacuation process.
The FEMA REP Program Manual dated April 2012 states under Criterion 3.d.2 "Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved: "The impediment must occur during the evacuation and be on an evacuation route such that re-routing of traffic is required, triggering decision making and coordination with the JIC to communicate the alternative route to evacuees leaving the area.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Reportl/mprovement Plan Indian Point Energy Center POSSIBLE CAUSE: Proper coordination/communication between law enforcement, the Command and General Staff and the Public Information officer to make the PIO aware of the problem and issue the proper press release and other communications is not addressed in the plan.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, J. 1 O.k EFFECT: There is great potential for additional traffic congestion if the public is not properly informed of evacuation route detours.
RECOMMENDATION: Closer coordination should occur between law enforcement operations, Command and General Staff and the Public Information Officer to ensure that effects of a detour from the evacuation route are properly communicated to the public. This coordination should be laid out within the Rockland County plan to ensure that all parties are aware of there responsibilities.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 3.a.1.
ISSUE NO.: 32-12-3aI-A-08 CRITERION: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. Appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers is maintained.
CONDITION: Many firefighters from the Pearl River Fire Department responded the Reception Center at Pearl River High School. As a result, there was not enough dosimetry to go around. In one case, a worker conducted monitoring in the male decontamination area without any dosimetry.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This was probably caused by the number of firefighters that responded along with the lack of a clear method of separating those who were there for training purposes from those who were playing in the exercise. Another possibility is that more dosimetry is needed at this facility.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA Rep-I, K.3.a EFFECT: If DRDs are not issued, a worker would have no indication of their exposure. Perhaps more importantly, without a DLR, there is no legal record of emergency worker dose.
RECOMMENDATION: Obtain a sufficient supply of dosimetry for this facility. If more people show up than are expected, clearly segregate those who are playing from those who are not.

AIter Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center Rockland Radiological Emergency Response Agency Procedures.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The form was not present in the kit.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654, L. 1,4; Rockland Radiological Emergency Response Agency Procedure EMS-2 "Handling and Transport of Contaminated and/or Injured Individuals to Medical Facilities", section 5.1. 10.
EFFECT: Because the reading was not written down, the technician could not remember the readings and the survey had to be repeated. This could lead to additional exposure and delay hospital care to the patient.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On August 9, 2012, prior to the plume exercise, Stony Point Ambulance Corps members successfully demonstrated the ability to have the appropriate form available and to use it correctly at the Stony Point Ambulance Corps Facility, which is located at 47 South Liberty Drive in Stony Point, NY.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center CONDITION: During a MS-I exercise at Good Samaritan Hospital, REA team members did not always follow the hospital procedure. The hospital procedure, which is summarized in a Patient Management - Wall Chart, dictates that samples should be taken prior to decontamination of the patient. Despite this, REA team members immediately began patient decontamination and had to be prompted to stop and obtain biological samples. Procedures for patient decontamination were not strictly followed. Contrary to the hospital procedure, the REA staff did not use "chux" and medical tape to drape the wound. Instead, they placed a cloth under the patient's elbow. In addition, they decontaminated the wound from the inside out, instead of following the procedural requirement for decontamination of the wound from the outside in. Finally, anti-contamination clothing was not donned or removed in the order that appears on the Anti-contamination clothing - Wall chart. In one instance, a gown was removed in a manner that could unnecessarily lead to a spread of contamination.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The REA Team members were not highly experienced. This was the first MS-I exercise for some team members. While focusing on getting the patient decontaminated and treated, they missed some of the procedural steps.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654, K.5b, L. 1; Good Samaritan Hospital Procedure:Management of the Radioactively Contaminated Patient, November, 2010, Section 7.B, Section 8.B, Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 EFFECT: If decontamination was completed prior to sample taking, representative radiological samples would not be able to be obtained. Not following decontamination and anti-contamination protocol could lead to an unwanted spread of contamination. Although, in this case, contamination would have been confined to the REA, and REA staff demonstrated that they could deal with the additional contamination caused by not following procedures, the process would have been easier for them if they had followed the procedures.
RECOMMENDATION: Hospital staff was advised of the need to follow procedures and wall charts during a critique which was conducted on 5/12/11. Stress the need for procedure compliance and referral to charts during future training sessions.

CONDITION: During a MS-I exercise at Good Samaritan Hospital, the radiation physicist covered the probe that he used with his Ludlum Model 177 frisker to conduct surveys for contamination. He used a plastic glove for this purpose.
However, the fingers of the glove touched everything that he surveyed and could have potentially caused a cross-contamination problem.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The hospital procedure does not provide information regarding covering the probe and provides no guidance on how this should be accomplished.
In fact, Section 7 of the procedure includes a picture in which the probe is not covered.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654, K.5b, L. 1; Good Samaritan Hospital Procedure:
Management of the Radioactively Contaminated Patient, November, 2010, EFFECT: If the probe is not properly covered and glove material hangs down, there is the potential for cross-contamination of every item that is surveyed (including the patient).
RECOMMENDATION: Discontinue the practice of using a glove to cover the probe.
Obtain a suitable substitute (plastic bag) and provide guidance regarding the how this is to be used as a probe cover in the hospital procedure.

CONDITION: The Westchester County Field Team procedure does not provide any instruction for verifying the operability on the high range (> I R/hr) for the RO-20 instrument that is capable of reading up to 50 R/hr.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Procedure inadequacy.
REFERENCE:

CONDITION: The Westchester County Field Team procedure does not adequately 89
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center provide direction on how to determine if the Field Team is within the plume. It does use Open Window and Closed Window instrument readings at waist and at ground level, but does not describe what the variances in these readings mean regarding the plume location. It states the 1.5 x Window closed readings for the window open reading is indicative the team is in the plume. The determination that the team is in the plume is based on all open and closed window readings not individual readings that are window open 1.5 times window closed.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Procedure inadequacy.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C. 1; H. 12: 1.8, 9; J. 1O.a Westchester County Implementing Procedure 3.2 EFFECT: The Field Monitoring team could take an air sample when in fact they are not actually in the plume. After analysis this would results in unexpected or no air sample activity for both particulate and radioiodine samples.
RECOMMENDATION: Modify procedure to clarify what window open and window closed readings mean at 3 feet (waist) and 3 inches (ground). When ground window open minus window closed is 1-3 times higher than waist window open minus window closed, this is indicative that the plume has passed this location. When waist window open minus window closed is 1-3 times higher than window open minus window closed at ground, this is indicative that the plume is overhead. Only when waist and ground window open readings are 1-3 times higher than window closed readings at waist and ground is this indicative that the field team is in plume.

d ISSUE: During a MS-i drill at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, surveys to detect the presence and quantity of radiological contamination were not always in accordance with the hospital procedure. The hospital procedure requires that probe-to-surface distance should be approximately 1/2 inch. Contrary to the hospital procedure, most patient surveys were conducted with the probe several inches from the patient. When questioned, the technician was aware of the procedural requirement, but he continued to conduct surveys in the same manner.
RECOMMENDATION: If 1/2/ inch from the patient is the distance that is desired, conduct additional training and demonstrate this distance so that it is clearly understood.

ISSUE: The Orange County Public Information Officer was not informed of the alternate evacuation route as a result of a traffic impediment (simulated rollover of a tractor trailer carrying milk) at 12:22. There is potential for this information not to be appropriately and adequately communicated out to the public who will be evacuating, thereby increasing the potential for increase in traffic congestion that would slow the evacuation process.
The FEMA REP Program Manual dated April 2012 states under Criterion 3.d.2 "Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved: The impediment must occur during the evacuation and be on an evacuation route such that re-routing of traffic is required, triggering decision making and coordination with the JIC to communicate the alternative route to evacuees leaving the area".
RECOMMENDATION: Closer coordination should occur between law enforcement operations, Command and General Staff and the Public Information Officer to ensure that effects of a detour from the evacuation route are properly communicated to the public. This coordination should be laid out within the Orange County plan to ensure that all parties are aware of their responsibilities.

As a result, there was not enough dosimetry to go around. Both male and female workers performed monitoring and decontamination activities without any dosimetry. The Reception Center Manager and Ares/Races representative did not have any dosimetry.
RECOMMENDATION: Obtain a sufficient supply of dosimetry for this facility. If more people show up than are expected, clearly segregate those who are playing from those who are not. Area monitoring with a single dosimeter is recommended, but each worker still needs a dosimeter of legal record (DLR).

Isu Nu br 321.diA0 Cr ISSUE: During a MS-I exercise at Good Samaritan Hospital, REA team members did not always follow the hospital procedure. The hospital procedure, which is summarized in a Patient Management - Wall Chart, dictates that samples should be taken prior to decontamination of the patient. Despite this, REA team members immediately began patient decontamination and had to be prompted to stop and obtain biological samples. Procedures for patient decontamination were not strictly followed. Contrary to the hospital procedure, the REA staff did not use "chux" and medical tape to drape the wound. Instead, they placed a cloth under the patient's elbow. In addition, they decontaminated the wound from the inside out, instead of following the procedural requirement for decontamination of the wound from the outside in. Finally, anti-contamination clothing was not donned or removed in the order that appears on the Anti-contamination clothing - Wall chart. In one instance, a gown was removed in a manner that could unnecessarily lead to a spread of contamination.
RECOMMENDATION: Hospital staff was advised of the need to follow procedures and wall charts during a critique which was conducted on 5/12/11. Stress the need for procedure compliance and referral to charts during future training sessions.

He used a plastic glove for this purpose. However, the fingers of the glove touched everything that he surveyed and could have potentially caused a cross-contamination problem.
RECOMMENDATION: Discontinue the practice of using a glove to cover the probe. Obtain a suitable substitute (plastic bag) and provide guidance regarding the how this is to be used as a probe cover in the hospital procedure.

-- 11C iein a ISSUE: The Westchester County Field Team procedure does not adequately provide direction on how to determine if the Field Team is within the plume. It does use Open Window and Closed Window instrument readings at waist and at ground level, but does not describe what the variances in these readings mean regarding the plume location. It states the 1.5 x Window closed readings for the window open reading is indicative the team is in the plume. The determination that the team is in the plume is based on all open and closed window readings not individual readings that are window open 1.5 times window closed.
RECOMMENDATION: Modify procedure to clarify what window open and window closed readings mean at 3 feet (waist) and 3 inches (ground). When ground window open minus window closed is 1-3 times higher than waist window open minus window closed, this is indicative that the plume has passed this location. When waist window open minus window closed is 1-3 times higher than window open minus window closed at ground, this is indicative that the plume is overhead. Only when waist and ground window open readings are 1-3 times higher than window closed readings at waist and ground is this indicative that the field team is in plume.

ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise is a Full-Scale Exercise (FSE) designed for players to demonstrate exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to a nuclear power plant accident scenario and related controller inject messages. An FSE is a complex event that requires detailed planning. To conduct an effective exercise, subject matter experts (SMEs) and local representatives from numerous agencies have taken part in the planning process and will take part in exercise conduct and evaluation.
This Exercise Plan (ExPlan) was produced at the direction of the FEMA Region II RAC Chair with the input, advice, and assistance of the Exercise Planning Team. The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise is evidence of the growing partnership between State and local jurisdictions for response to the threats our Nation and communities face.
Confidentiality The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise is an unclassified exercise. The control of information is based more on public sensitivity regarding the nature of the exercise than on the actual exercise content. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use of exercise planners, controllers, and evaluators, but players may view other materials deemed necessary to their performance. This ExPlan may be viewed by all exercise participants, but the Controller and Evaluator (C/E) Handbook is a restricted document intended for controllers and evaluators only.
All exercise participants should use appropriate guidelines to ensure the proper control of information within their areas of expertise and protect this material in accordance with current FEMA REP Program directives.
Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Exercise Planning Team (EPT).
Purpose The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate player actions against current response plans and capabilities for a nuclear power plant-related incident, and to comply with the requirements of 44 CFR 350 and the guidelines of NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. Exercise planners utilized the elements described in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (April, 2012) to develop this exercise.
The objective of FEMA REP Evaluated Exercises is to demonstrate reasonable assurance that the public can be protected during a nuclear power plant emergency.
Target Capabilities The establishment of the National Preparedness Pniorities have steered the focus of homeland security toward a capabilities-based planning approach. Capabilities-based planning focuses on

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Indian Point Energy Center Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)/
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise planning under uncertainty, since the next danger or disaster can never be forecast with complete accuracy. Therefore, capabilities-based planning takes an all-hazards approach to planning and preparation which builds capabilities that can be applied to a wide variety of incidents. The candidate capabilities listed below have been selected by the EPT from the priority capabilities identified in the FEMA REP Program Manual, Part IV. These capabilities provide the foundation for development of the exercise objectives and scenario, as the purpose of this exercise is to measure and validate performance of these capabilities and their associated activities and tasks.
Capabilities, activities and tasks will be further integrated and detailed in Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs) developed for this exercise.
- Emergency Operations Center Management
- Emergency Public Information and Warning
- Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination
- Emergency Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment
- Mass Care
- Emergency Public Safety and Security Response Additionally, each capability is linked to several corresponding activities and tasks to provide additional detail. Exercise objectives and Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be exercised are discussed in the Extent-of-Play (Appendix B).
OUTSTANDING ISSUES The outstanding New York State ARCA from the 2010 Indian Point Exercise is described in Appendix B, Extent of Play.

ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise CHAPTER 2: EXERCISE LOGISTICS Exercise Summary General The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise is designed for players to demonstrate exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to a nuclear power plant accident scenario and related controller inject messages. The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise will be conducted on October 2, 2012. Exercise play will conclude when the FEMA Region II RAC Chair, or the Lead Evaluator determine that the exercise criteria have been met at each evaluated location.
Assumptions Assumptions constitute the implied factual foundation for the exercise and, hence, are assumed to be present before the start of the exercise. The following general assumptions apply to the REP Exercise:
" The exercise will be graded against the REP criteria. Elements outside the scope of the REP criteria will not be graded.
- This exercise will focus its evaluation on systems and processes, not individuals.
" Exercise simulation will be realistic and plausible, containing sufficient detail from which to respond.
- Exercise players will react to the information and situations as they are presented, in the same manner as if this had been a real event.
Constructs and Constraints Although there are a number of constructs and constraints (also known as exercise artificialities) for any exercise, the EPT recognizes and accepts the following as necessary:
" The nature and timing of certain scenario events may involve assumptions that may seem unrealistic to players but are necessary to drive certain decisions and actions.
- Exercise communication and coordination will be limited to the participating exercise venues as identified in the Extent of Play (EOP).
Only those communication methods outlined in plans and procedures will be available for players to use during the exercise.
" Out-of-Sequence play is allowed as identified in the EOP.
" Certain simulations are allowed as identified in the EOP.
- The EOP is contained in Appendix B a lýlentifies these and other agreements used to guide exercise participants on the scope and manner in which the exercise will be conducted and evaluated.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise The participating agencies may need to balance exercise play with real-world emergencies. It is understood that real-world emergencies will take priority.
Exercise Participants The following are the categories of participants involved in this exercise; note that the term "participant" refers to all categories listed below, not just those playing in the exercise:
" Players. Players are agency personnel who have an active role in responding to the simulated emergency and perform their regular roles and responsibilities during the exercise. Players initiate actions that will respond to and mitigate the simulated emergency.
- Controllers. Controllers set up and operate the exercise site; plan and manage exercise play; act in the roles of response individuals and agencies not playing in the exercise.
Controllers direct the pace of exercise play and routinely include members from the exercise planning team. They provide key data to players and may prompt or initiate certain player actions to ensure exercise continuity.
- Simulators. Simulators are control staff personnel who role-play as nonparticipating organizations or individuals. They most often operate out of the SimCell, but may occasionally have face-to-face contact with players. Simulators function semi-independently under the supervision of SimCell controllers, enacting roles (e.g., as media reporters or next of kin) in accordance with instructions provided in the Master Scenario Events List (MSEL). All simulators are ultimately accountable to the Exercise Director and to the Lead Controller at each venue.
- Evaluators. Evaluators are chosen to evaluate and provide feedback on a designated functional area of the exercise. They are chosen based on their expertise in the functional area(s) they have been assigned to review during the exercise and their familiarity with local emergency response procedures. Evaluators assess and document participants' performance against established emergency plans and exercise evaluation criteria, in accordance with HSEEP standards and within the bounds of REP Program guidance and regulations. They are typically chosen from amongst planning committee members or the agencies/organizations that are participating in the exercise. FEMA Evaluators will not serve as Controllers.
" Actors. Actors are exercise participants who act or simulate specific roles during exercise play. They are typically volunteers who have been recruited to play the role of victims or other bystanders.
- Observers. Observers visit or view selected segments of the exercise. Observers do not play in the exercise, and do not perform any control or evaluation functions. Observers will view the exercise from a designated observation area and will be asked to remain within the observation area during the exercise. VIPs are a type of observer, but are frequently grouped separately. A dedicated group of exercise Controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise
- Media Personnel. Some media personnel may be present as observers pending approval by the exercise support team members. Media personnel and interaction may also be simulated by actors to enhance realism and meet related exercise objectives. A dedicated group of exercise controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.
- Support Staff. Exercise support staff includes individuals who are assigned administrative and logistical support tasks during the exercise (i.e. registration, catering, etc.)
Exercise Tools Controller and Evaluator Package The Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise C/E Package is designed to help exercise Controllers and Evaluators conduct and evaluate an effective exercise. This Package also enables Controllers and Evaluators to understand their roles and responsibilities in exercise execution and evaluation.
Should a Player, Observer, or media representative find an unattended Package, it should be provided to the nearest Controller or Evaluator.
Master Scenario Events List The Master Scenario Events List (MSEL) outlines benchmarks, as well as injects that drive off-site exercise play. It also details realistic input to the exercise players as well as information expected to emanate from simulated organizations (i.e., those nonparticipating organizations, agencies, and individuals who would usually respond to the situation). An inject will include several items of information, such as inject time, intended recipient, responsible controller, inject type, a short description of the event, and the expected player action.
Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin in the morning on October 2, 2012, with a situation notification update going to participating agencies in accordance with plans and procedures. Play will proceed according to the events as outlined in the scenario, and in accordance with established plans and procedures. Exercise play is scheduled for the exercise duration or until the State Exercise Director and FEMA RAC Chair or designee determine that the exercise objectives have been met at each venue. Any exercise suspension or termination and will be at the discretion of the FEMA Region II RAC Chair in consultation with the State Exercise Director.
Exercise Rules The following are the general rules that govern exercise play:
- Real-world emergency actions take priority over exercise actions.
Exercise participants will comply with real-world response procedures, unless otherwise directed by control staff.

ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise 0
All communications (written, radio, telephone, etc.) made during the exercise will begin and end with the phrase, "This is an exercise. "
Exercise participants placing telephone calls or initiating radio communication must identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with whom they wish to speak.
Safety Requirements General Exercise participant safety takes priority over exercise events. Although the organizations involved in the Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise come from various response agencies, they share the basic responsibility for ensuring a safe environment for all personnel involved in the exercise. In addition, aspects of an emergency response are dangerous. Professional health and safety ethics should guide all participants to operate in their assigned roles in the safest manner possible. The following general requirements apply to the exercise:
" All exercise controllers, evaluators, and staff will serve as safety observers while the exercise activities are underway. Any safety concerns must be immediately reported to the player/facility supervisor and to the facility's Lead Controller for a prompt decision on the best manner to proceed.
Participants will be responsible for their own and each other's safety during the exercise.
It is the responsibility of all persons associated with the exercise to stop play if, in their opinion, a real safety problem exists. Once the problem is corrected, exercise play can be restarted.
All organizations will comply with their respective environmental, health, and safety plans and procedures, as well as the appropriate Federal, State, and local environmental health and safety regulations.
Exercise Setup Exercise setup involves the pre-staging and dispersal of exercise materials; including registration materials, documentation, signage, and other equipment as appropriate.
Accident Reporting and Real Emergencies
" Anyone observing a participant who is seriously ill or injured will first advise the nearest controller, then if possible, renders aid, provided the aid does not exceed his or her training.
The controller who is made aware of a real emergency will announce "Real World Emergency" to exercise participants and provide the following information at their location:

ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise If the nature of the emergency requires a suspension of the exercise at the location/function, all exercise activities at that facility will immediately cease. Exercise play may resume at that location/function once the "Real-World Emergency" situation has been addressed. The Lead FEMA Evaluator at the affected location must notify the RAC Chair.
" Exercise play at other locations/functions should not cease if one location/function has declared a "Real-World Emergency" unless they are reliant on the affected location.
If a real emergency occurs that affects the entire exercise, the exercise may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the FEMA Region II RAC Chair in consultation with the NYSOEM Exercise Director.
Site Access Security Each evaluated jurisdiction/agency will control entry to the exercise at their location. To prevent confusion and interruption of the exercise, access to the exercise sites will be limited to exercise participants only. Exercise observers must have approval of the respective lead facility agency at each venue. Players should advise their location's controller or evaluator if an unauthorized person is present. Each organization should follow its internal security procedures, augmented as necessary to comply with exercise requirements.
Observer Coordination Each jurisdiction/agency with observers will coordinate with the State Controller or Lead FEMA Evaluator for access to the exercise site. Observers will be escorted to an observation area for orientation and conduct of the exercise. All observers will be asked to remain within the designated observation area during the exercise. The State Controller and/or the FEMA Evaluator will be present to explain the exercise program and answer questions for the observers during the exercise.
Parking and Directions Parking information and directions to each location will be provided to all exercise participants.
Restroom Facilities Restroom facilities will be available at each venue.
Exercise Identification All exercise personnel, players, controllers, evaluators and observers will be identified by issued identification badges or by other identification means.

Player Communication Players will use in-place agency communication systems as outlined in plans and procedures.
Additional communication assets may be made available as the exercise progresses. The need to maintain capability for a real-world response may preclude the use of certain communication channels or systems that would usually be available for an actual emergency incident. In no instance will exercise communication interfere with real-world emergency communications.
Each jurisdiction/agency will coordinate its own internal communication networks and channels.
Player Briefing Controllers may be required to read specific scenario details to the participants to begin exercise play. They may also have technical handouts or other materials to give to players in order to better orient them to the exercise environment.
Public Affairs This exercise enables Players to demonstrate an increased readiness to deal with a nuclear power plant incident. Any nuclear power plant exercise may be a newsworthy event.
FEMA Evaluators are not authorized to make statements to the media concerning the Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise. For the Indian Point exercise, media inquiries should be directed to William Douglass of FEMA Region II External Affairs (office number 212-680-3665 and cell number 917-561-3223).

ExPlan Indian Point Unit 3 REP Exercise CHAPTER 3: PLAYER GUIDELINES Exercise Staff Exercise Director The Exercise Director (New York State Office of Emergency Management) has the overall responsibility for planning, coordinating, and overseeing all exercise functions. He/she manages and monitors the exercise activities from the main Control Cell and maintains a close dialogue with the Lead Controllers and the FEMA RAC Chair or designee regarding the status of play and the achievement of the exercise design objectives.
Lead Controllers The Lead Controllers (State Office of Emergency Management) monitor exercise progress at each venue and coordinate decisions regarding deviations or significant changes to the scenario caused by unexpected developments during play. The Lead Controllers monitor actions by individual Controllers and ensure they implement all designated and modified actions at the appropriate time. The Lead Controllers debrief the Controllers after the exercise and oversees the setup and takedown of the exercise and assembly of pertinent documentation at each venue.
Controllers At least one controller (State Office of Emergency Management and other designated individuals) will stationed at each venue and field team participating in the exercise, and at each out-of-sequence interview. The Lead Controller at each location will coordinate any changes that impact the scenario or affect other areas of play through the Lead Controller. The individual controllers issue exercise materials to players as required and monitor the exercise timeline.
Controllers also provide injects to the players as described in the MSEL.
Lead Evaluator/Team Leader The FEMA RAC Chair or designee assumes the role of Lead Evaluator for the Exercise. FEMA Team Leaders are responsible for the overall evaluation of his/her assigned location. The RAC Chair or designee monitors exercise progress and stays in contact with the Exercise Director regarding changes to the exercise during play. The Team Leaders monitor actions of individual Evaluators and ensures they are tracking progress of the players in accordance with REP Exercise criteria and the Extent of Play. The Team Leaders are responsible for collecting copies of all pertinent exercise generated material at their location.
Evaluators Evaluators (FEMA staff and FEMA contractorl)b3,ork under the direction of the RAC Chair and Team Leaders in partnership with Controllers. Evaluators are subject matter experts who record events that take place during the exercise and assess/submit documentation for review and

Evaluators should refrain from any direct interaction with the players during exercise play except with the facilitation of a Controller for clarification of information, during scheduled interviews, or coordination of re-demonstrations.
Player Instructions Before the Exercise
- Review the appropriate emergency plans, procedures, and exercise support documents.
- Wear appropriate uniform/identification badge.
- If you gain knowledge of the scenario before the exercise, notify a controller so that appropriate actions can be taken to ensure a valid evaluation.
" Please sign in.
During the Exercise
- Respond to the exercise events and information as if the emergency were real, unless otherwise directed by an exercise controller.
- Controllers will only give you information they are specifically directed to disseminate.
You are expected to obtain other necessary information through existing emergency information channels.
- Do not engage in personal conversations with controllers, evaluators, observers, or media personnel while the exercise is in progress. If you are asked an exercise-related question, give a short, concise answer. If you are busy and cannot immediately respond, indicate so, but report back with an answer at the earliest time possible.
- If you do not understand the scope of the exercise or if you are uncertain about an organization's or agency's participation in an exercise, ask a controller.
- Parts of the scenario may seem implausible. Recognize that the exercise has objectives to satisfy and may require the incorporation of unrealistic aspects. Note that every effort has been made by the trusted agents to balance realism with safety and the creation of an effective learning and evaluation environment.
- All exercise communication will begin and end with the phrase "This is an exercise."
This is a precaution taken so anyone overhearing the conversation will not mistake the exercise play for a real-world emergency.
- When communicating with other jurisdictions/agencies, identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with which you want to speak.
" Maintain a log of your activities. Many times, this log may include documentation of activities missed by a controller or evaluator.

The Scenario Development Team will develop the "Exercise" free play messages.
The State Controller will inject these messages for action as agreed upon.
"Optional" messages will be developed and inserted to facilitate EOC participation.
The Scenario Development Team will develop "Exercise" free play messages for Public Inquiry conducted at the New York State Tax and Finance Call Center in Albany, NY and at the Westchester County Public Inquiry Center (PIC) located at the County office building in White Plains, NY. Public Inquiry messages will be injected to the two call centers by a control cell(s).
The Scenario Development Team will develop "Exercise" free play messages for Media Inquiry. Media Inquiry messages will be injected to the State and county EOCs by a control cell(s).
The State Controller will provide radiological data for any radiological field activities (e.g., Field Teams, Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Centers, Reception Centers, etc.).
According to REP Program Manual (page 111-21), "During the exercise, an evaluator who notes that an ORO did not correctly demonstrate activities for a particular criterion advises the appropriate controller of the issue. Participants may re-demonstrate an activity that the ORO or FEMA determined was not performed satisfactorily only when the correction would not interrupt the flow of the exercise.
The controller or other ORO personnel will re-train the staff that performed the criterion activity incorrectly. Upon completion of the training, those staff will re-demonstrate the criterion activity. If the ORO demonstrates that activity adequately, the AAR will record the issue, but a follow-on statement will describe the corrective action demonstrated." Re-demonstrations of any activity will be discussed and agreed upon between the State Controller and FEMA Evaluator as practicable for all activities/locations evaluated.
