Gina Picketts CRJU 101 Incident Command System Exercise Q4: Effectiveness of the response: What did your team/class do well/poorly? Consider: appropriate support, staging areas, notification of hospitals, police agencies utilized and how public warning, evidence protected, media notification and location, evacuation plan, local, state, or Governor’s Declaration of Emergency utilized. A4: My team (CCSD) did a good job managing the traffic issues associated with the Buckeye Pipeline explosion. Initially we determined the appropriate distance from the explosion to halt traffic. I think that the MPD could have done a better job in communicating the perimeter for road closures to the Sheriff’s Department, alerting hospitals, and getting the message out for public safety. I believe the Command Center was positioned in an appropriate place in order to deal with evacuees, the Red Cross, and other agencies involved with the explosion. In addition the CCSD had to make some changes to the road closures due to the call of shots fired and officer wounded on F. Dr. South Lot 58 in the Twin Valley Trailer park. I consider the evacuation plan and road closures of the CCSD to be as efficient as possible with the utmost amount of care placed on protecting the citizens in the community. Q5: Ability to work as a team. A5: I found it very easy to work with Jasmine Raleigh and Tim Stuck. They both brought great ideas to the group and helped me to consider circumstances and conditions that I would not have thought of on my own. As far as the rest of the class, I felt as if we could have communicated better. I am still unclear of how public warning was handled, if the Red Cross was involved, and how the media may have been dealt with. Q6: Describe your contribution to your group: (Be sure to be specific by giving examples or describing what you did.) A6: I contributed to my group by getting in touch with the Fire Chief of the MFD. I asked questions pertaining to the appropriate distance for road closures in our hypothetical situation. I also asked questions on the guidelines for dealing with a chemical explosion and spill. The Fire Chief informed me that they would use foam in an attempt to absorb the material and where exactly they would get the foam from. I also assisted Jasmine and Tim in the decision on what roads to close and detour routes.
