Thursday, Oct 15th will be participating in the annual California ShakeOut.  MPC will conduct a “desk top” drill to test its emergency communications between the BRT (Building Response Team ) and the EOC (Emergency Operations Center).  The drill will be held between 10:00 a.m. and 10:50 a.m.

The Plan:

1. Thursday, Oct 15th, 10:15 a.m. – EOC members will report to the Large Admin Conf. Rm.
2. 10:20 – 10:25 – Announcement of Drill is made and EOC is activated using the Informacast System which sends broadcasts through our phone system and classroom speaker system/wall clocks.,  Alertus using networked computers, (not all computers yet), will send a banner-type message, and the text alert system will use texts and e-mail using EVERBRIDGE (click on this live link to opt in for these emergency notifications).
3. Following the announcement, BRT members contact the EOC at one of the Call In Numbers listed below to report on their situation (severity), and provide their name and contact information.  Non-BRT members should become familiar with who their BRT members are.
4. EOC members will track the incoming and collect information to act upon if necessary.
5. 10:50 (approx.), the drill will be concluded and the EOC will broadcast an “All Clear” declaring its deactivation.

EOC members will conduct a debriefing of the exercise to identify where improvements are needed.  These recurring drills continue to be an excellent tool in keeping emergency preparedness fresh in our mind and to test communication tools designed for use in emergencies.
