5. Why? Three Separate Exercise Programs
REP
CSEP
HSEEP
Similarities
Project Management Tool
Differences
Specific vs Generic
HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 4
6. Why Not? Same Goal
Testing Plans & Procedures
Document Performance
Identify Gaps
Improved Interoperability with OROs
NRF
ICS
NIMS

7. Pro’s & Con’s EEG
Current TCLs do not match with REP requirements
Be Careful of “Check the Block”
Note Pads Preferred
Use Specific Criteria
Time Checks
AAR
More Descriptive
SRF matrix would be a welcomed addition

8. HSEEP Pilot Project Goals REP exercises added to NEP calendar
Standardized criteria for EEGs
Develop a nationwide template
Evaluations based on traditional REP criteria HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 7

15. HSEEP Integration Evaluated Exercise November 4, 2009Exercise Evaluation Guide (EEG) Development Currently the REP evaluation process uses the Exercise Preparation Guide
HSEEP evaluation process uses EEGs which are designed to meet a set of target capabilities
The exercise planning team worked to blend the two approaches to test radiological response plans and the concepts for integrating REP and HSEEP
HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 14
16. The BFNPP EEGs were capability based
REP criterion was used as activities under each capability
This aligns better with the HSEEP approach rather than criteria based EEGs
Capability based EEGs were used to measure exercise outcomes through selecting specific actions from the Target Capabilities List (TCL)
HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 15
17. EEGs for Dose Assessment and Field Team Monitoring did not have activities or supporting tasks available from the TCL
These were written by Alabama Department of Public Health Office of Radiation Control using the REP criteria, with modifications, to ensure their applicability for our jurisdiction
EEGs can be customized by selecting subordinate activities you want to demonstrate for the capability that is being evaluated
EEG DEVELOPMENT HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 16
18. The capabilities used for the EEGs during the BFNPP Exercise were:
Emergency Operations Center Management
Responder Health and Safety
Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place
Emergency Public Safety and Security
Emergency Public Information and Warning
Communications
Mass Prophylaxis
Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, and Related Services)
Weapons of Mass Destruction WMD and Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Response and Decontamination

19. EEG DEVELOPMENT
Lessons Learned:
Creating capability based EEGs v criterion based EEGs
Document Control

23. HSEEP Pilot Project Planning Issues Training will be needed for Utility, State and Local (HSEEP, NIMS, ICS)
Evaluators will complete HSEEP class on-line prior to exercise.
TCL and EEGs will need to be cross walked with REP Program Manual, Extent of Play and Offsite Plan
Use of REP narratives in AAR format will need to be addressed.
HSEEP-REP 16 March 2010 22
24. HSEEP Pilot Project Planning Issues Current TCLs do not match with REP requirements.
EEGs will be location based.
- (EOC, JIC, REAT Forward, etc.)
EEGs will be introduced to evaluators at Dress Rehearsal (February 4, 2009).
16 March 2010 23
25. HSEEP Pilot Project Planning Issues Resolution of exercise issues will be done by RAC Chair
Any deficiencies will be compared to current REP evaluation
Exercise generated both SRF and AAR/IP.
