The purpose of this exercise is to provide participants an opportunity to evaluate current response concepts, plans, and capabilities during a release of the B. anthracis virus, or Anthrax. The exercise will focus on critical decisions, logistical support across the region, and plan integration amongst the volunteer, Medical Reserve Corps, and Citizen Corps Council agencies.
This exercise emphasizes the role each jurisdiction plays in situational awareness and interoperability during a disaster where Volunteer Reception Centers and Medical Reserve Corps operations must occur in a coordinated manner.
