Exercise Concept
 Focus on “Decision Window”

H-120 to H-48
 Decisions made here set the stage for success in “execution window”
 “Execution Window”

H-72 to H-36
 Actions here determine success
 90 % of exercise will be in H-72 to H-36
 10 % in H-36 to H-Hour
 Focus on Special Needs

ID
 Care during Evac
 Evac
 Shelter
H-Hour = Arrival of 39 mph winds on the coast

Focus Areas
 An issue, capability or required action that you may choose
to emphasize or demonstrate during HUREX 2008.
 May be exercised either as a full scale element or in the
functional portion of the exercise.
 The following slides list several Focus Areas identified by
GDEM during past HUREXs from which you may choose as
you shape the focus of your own exercise.
 Provide your selections to NERRTC personnel during he
planning meeting.

Rehearsal Of Concept (ROC)
Scope: The Texas Hurricane ROC Drill uses a
computer-driven simulation to train
participants in decision-making skills,
incident management, staff responsibilities,
and situational awareness associated with a
catastrophic hurricane. The exercise focuses
on the key decision-making requirements at
the elected and senior appointed level and
response functions within the Emergency
Operations Center (EOC).
ROC Concept of Operations
 Simulations will assist participants in
establishing situational awareness
 Timeline will be advanced in increments to
meet objectives (i.e., H+120, H+72, etc…)
 Simulations will be used as a tool to
communicate between evacuating and
sheltering jurisdictions
ROC Concept of Operations
 Interaction between Evacuating and
Sheltering jurisdictions
 Exercise injects will come from role players
and simulation
