The ground is saturated. A new storm has added three inches of rain in the
past twelve hours. WE HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED A 5.5 EARTHQUAKE! This has
caused many roads to be inundated with mud, and has caused trees to block a
creek in your town. It has fully blocked the creek near a home for seniors
with limited mobility, and is forcing evacuations - and the primary road
into the senior home is blocked by mudslides. RACES has been activated, and
the city emergency manager has asked for hams to staff the evacuation center
and the city EOC, as well as act as shadows for city officials.
This is happening in several cities in the county (those cities who plan to participate in the drill), and the EOCs in those cities have been staffed. Therefore, Santa Clara County OES has opened the SCCo EOC, and is asking for information from the affected cities. The RIMS operator in your city is not available, and hams have been asked to send the RIMS reports to the county by packet. You can modify this scenario to fit your local environment. The drill will be 1400-1600, Saturday, January 20, 2007 Frequencies and repeater information will be forthcoming, but I thought you should get this scenario now.
