K-PREP Program Kitsap County Schools Disaster Drill Scenario Instructions: Tabletop Exercise: A tabletop exercise is simulating the play. No outdoor activity is occurring. Messages are created to stimulate team members problem solving abilities. Responses should be documented on a flip chart so all team members can participate. A time limit is set for the exercise. When finished, a brief discussion should occur. Where are we, how did we do? What do we need to do to enhance our team? From this point you can plan for the future needs of your response teams. Full-Scale Exercise: A full-scale exercise gives your response teams the opportunity to test their ability to respond to and make decisions based on what they hear and see. Before you attempt a full scale exercise, you should run through a tabletop exercise. Scene set up is important. Your response teams will only react to what they see. To help you, we recommend a controller who can inject messages to the team if they are not responding as anticipated. Controller: A person or persons who control portions of the exercise. They can inject messages, caution players and control safety issues as needed. To Start: 1. Review the drill scenario and packet. 2. Give each team member a copy of their team problems and the overall scenario. They need to know what is happening in the County and surrounding area. 3. Be sure to set exercise time limit. 4. Decide how you will start exercise. Over the PA, etc. 5. Send teachers back to class and start exercise. K-PREP - School Training Curriculum - 2008
Start: Give this page and the next page to Principal and Controllers only Congratulations: The information packet you have just received is your Emergency Preparedness Drill. Please take a few minutes to read this information, ask us whatever questions you feel necessary, and then activate your drill. To assist you and your team leaders, we have provided extra copies of this scenario as well as building maps which indicate the exact location where the earthquake damaged your building. Instructions: For drill purposes assume the District Command Center has been activated. All contact with the District Command Center should be simulated (unless otherwise pre-arranged).

This situation has resulted in the following conditions at your facility: Your school has suffered a partial interior wall collapse between room and the corridor leading to the east exit of the building. There is also a small fire burning in the exit corridor. The windows in classroom have been broken. There is glass inside as well as outside the building. There is a light northerly wind that is blowing smoke from the fire past the exit doors on the east side of the gymnasium. The students in the gym will need to use an alternate route of evacuation. Mr./Ms., the teacher in room, is trapped under debris from the partially collapsed wall with a broken leg, cuts and bruises. Because of his/her injuries, he/she is conscious but not able to care for his/her students. The students in Mr./Ms. room are not trapped, but have suffered injuries which are not life threatening. They include injuries such as cuts, bruises, broken bones, and shock/ trauma. All students, even those injured are capable of walking. The injured staff and students will be tagged with or 3 x5 cards to indicate what their injuries are. Mrs. Jane Doe, a parent who is confined to a wheelchair is in the main office on parental business. Her son, John Doe, is a student in Mr./Ms. s class.
