Office of Emergency Management lD NN Exec. Dept., State Office Park South 107 Pleasant Street Concord, NN 03301 Dear Mr. Stromet

SUBJECT:

Seab' rook Exercise Report The purpoem of this letter is to acknowledge and confira ey conversation with Mike Newnj of your off!Ce on September 2, 1988, regarding our evaluation of Objective 21, as stated in FEMA's Exerclae Report of the June Seabrook Exercise. Our conversation con be summarized as followas 1.

Last week I conducted a. review of New Neopshire's Plans. My review indicated that each Reception Center had designated Emergency Kite containing 80 CDV 700 instruments with 80 sets of headsets.

2.

Mr. Nawoj confirmed that the inventory lists were correct and current.

8.

FEMA's evaluation of Objective 21 (page 183-185 of the Seabrook

~j l

Exercise Report) contains the statement that there was only one headset for every three inwruments and a reconsendation that a l

heedset be fasued for every instrument at each monitoring o-statjon. The Summary of Exercise Inadequacles contains the y

~ atatement for Objective 81 "acquire equipment."

i 4.

It la apparent the as;;1gned avsluatore either did not r:onduct a thorough inspection of the Equipment Nite or they did not I

conduct appropriate interviews with the designated supervisor and staff for the monitoring effort.

l 5.

The exercise leeue should have stated that the monitors failed

, S.

to utilize the eva!!able headsets while performing monitoring.

f' The recoseendation should have been "to train designated staff

'a that headsets be worn while performing monitoring of persons."
