10. Describe goals of activity, both for served agency and serving group
    • provide communications and video for eoc and the various agencies as requested.

11. Did the event fulfill the goals?
    • Yes.

    • Explain:
      audieo and video went well with ony one minor hitch and thqt being that the location of the JIC was changed without prior knowledge of the location and the video from there was not possible due to two foot thick walls made of steel. however we taped the conference and relayed it to the eoc.

12. What went well
    • considering that was only a table top exercise this year i believe that for the most part all went well.

13. Areas needing improvement
    • more familiarity with our new video equipment will certainly help and getting the video repeater will not hurt that situation at all.

14. Lessons learned
    • be prepared for tha worst, and presume that it will happen.

15. Additional training needed
    • more time training people for the eoc part of the plan. that has now been accomplished with a monthly equipment routine/training session scheduled for the fourth saturday of every month.

16. General comments
    • looking back on the first csepp drill that i dealt with in 1996 as ec we have gone from a some what who cares that you are here to a will you play and by the way what would like to do attitude. the director of the eoc and myself have developed a relationship between us that is one of mutual respect. we both full well understnd our respective places in the grand scheme of the emergency environment and know that we can depend on each other for mutual cooperation without having to question what is going on.
