Yellow Command - County EOC

Date: 09/06/18 Start: 8:00 AM End: 12:00 PM Location: Santa Clara County EOC
Credential Credit (What's this?): Yes

Note:  To sign up for this event, you must have approval of your city EC.

Yellow Command is a Bay Area-wide EOC Exercise designed to engage all levels of Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs).  It is designed to promote collaboration and coordination between jurisdictions and agencies as will be necessary in a catastrophic incident with regional impacts.  The Santa Clara County EOC will be activated.  Most cities will activate their EOCs and have internal city response activities such as shelter support. We will also be communicating with other county EOCs.

The exercise will simulate a response to a major disaster.  The simulation starts at E+96 (96 hours after the emergency incident occurs) and will be played out in real time.  It is intended to focus on the following core capabilities:

  • Mass Care Services
  • Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services
  • Situational Assessment
  • Public Information and Wanring
  • Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Although the primary focus of the exercise is not emergency communications, ARES/RACES support was requested and some message traffic will be sent via amateur radio.

Pre-Exercise Training:  Participants must attend a pre-exercise training webinar.  A separate sign-up for the webinar is here.

Time:  Be at the county EOC no later than 08:00.  We plan to operate the radio room only from 09:00 to 12:00.  Attendees will receive a box lunch.
