Master Sequence of Events

Initiate site alert/notification, implement site security response (i.e. Lockdown – Run Hide Fight), notify 9-1-1, and execute other appropriate site safety actions.

In this drill: N/A — done by simulators with an actual call to 9-1-1.

Use the ASHER 9-1-1 Card for agency alert/activation. ASHER I.A.P. activated via announcement on all channels; communications & incident management system implemented.

In this drill: 9-1-1 Simulator via ASHER Dispatch card on 67P911, 67F911 & 67E911.

Establish primary entry point (rendering entry as warm) and gain site access with immediate deployment to active threat and/or rapid securing of area. Secondary units assist as directed under safety caution of law-on-law engagement, with the goal to render the attack site “warm.”

In this drill: Executed via law units as dispatched (NO LIVE FIREARMS!).

Establish communication with local hospital; prepare for immediate treatment/transport of initial responder casualties and/or establishment of a Casualty Collection Point. Execute tactical actions in conjunction with law enforcement.

In this drill: Executed by EMS.

Determine hot (Rescue Strike Team) or warm (Rescue Taskforce). Ready RT1 Rapid Treatment team and RT2+ Rapid Extrication team(s). Execute tactical actions in conjunction with law enforcement.

In this drill: Executed by Fire EMR units (assigned to law RTF).

Manage basic access control to redirect public, media and non-authorized personnel while ensuring priority ingress/egress of response units. Prepare to act as temporary unit staging & be ready for augmentation by mutual aid law enforcement.

In this drill: Executed by Fire units — set up perimeter.

Assess/manage priorities of Contact Teams, Victim Rescue, Hard Perimeter, Investigation, Site Protection, Special Operations & other actions. Verify law enforcement mutual aid and resource assignments.

In this drill: Must be a dedicated Supervisor — vocalizes ALL law assignments.

Assess/manage priorities of Casualty Collection, Triage/Treatment, Transport, Med-Surge & other operations. Verify medical mutual aid and resource assignments.

In this drill: Must be a dedicated Supervisor — vocalizes all EMS assignments.

Assess/manage priorities of Soft Perimeter, Fire Suppression, Landing Zone and other operations. Verify hazard management mutual aid and resource assignments.

In this drill: Must be a dedicated Supervisor — vocalizes all Fire assignments.

Assess/manage priorities of Response, Coordination, Clear/Shutdown, Reunification, COOP/Recovery and other operations.

In this drill: Simulated via site volunteer.

Establish off-site staging area; coordinate with section supervisors on controlled prioritization of resources to meet operational needs, scene management and accountability.

In this drill: Simulated via announcement.

Ensure provisions for emergent Reunification, Transportation, Crisis Support, etc.

In this drill: 9-1-1 verification and/or ongoing communication of dispatch card.

Option 1: UICS via 1st qualified Incident Management Team member at a designated command post until agency administrators can join. Option 2: UICS via merging of section leaders at the Operations Area. Option 3: Enhance on-scene operations via a qualified Operations Officer and establish Unified Command at a designated Command Post or EOC.

In this drill: Option 2 is most likely, considering the localized, small site area.

Use the Nixle / IPAWS ASHER template for initial community notification. Establish a dedicated Public Information Officer to manage ongoing Joint Information System measures.

In this drill: Simulated via EMD in the field.

Assess and support command/general incident management functions (Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Admin, Communications, Public Information & Liaison) and emergency plan functions (via County Emergency Plan).

In this drill: Simulated call-out via EMD (most IMT members are controllers).

Assess command/general functions and operational areas (Law, Medical, Hazard Mgt, Site & Staging) — adjust & support as necessary. Repeat every hour until Life Safety, Incident Stabilization & Property Conservation objectives are met.

In this drill: Final message / exercise activity in the field — should be done via UICS.

Determine estimated time for transition to “recovery”; establish a dedicated Incident Management Team to implement Recovery I.A.P. measures.

In this drill: N/A — goal of a separate exercise activity (Thursday Recovery Workshop).
