Emergency Response Simulation 2-A
Overview
A fundamental role of local government is to take the lead on behalf of the populace during a time of crisis.
Planning and practice are an important part of insuring that the village is prepared to respond in a major
emergency.
To this end, on Monday, January 30 the village will be conducting what is called a"table top" exercise in
the Emergency Operations Center. The simulated disaster-in this case a major tornado -is for the
purpose of deploying the Village of Buffalo Grove Emergency Operations Plan. The goal is to improve
village emergency planning and to practice incident command from the strategic level.
The objectives of this exercise are to:
--Demonstrate the activation and use of the Incident Command System
--Identify strengths and weaknesses in the current Emergency Operations Plan
--Assure consistent and concise public notification practices
--Assure a continuity of operations and deployment of village services
--Reinforce the chain of command
--Define roles and responsibilities in an emergency
This exercise will take place with operational staff beginning at 2:00 pm. During the Committee of the
Whole meeting, staff will review the results of the exercise and provide the Village Board with real time
training on their roles and responsibilities during a major crisis.
