AERIAL EXERCISE VENUE

FLOWCHART

• Mile Marker 106 (MM-1) – This location was simulated and set up

at the Murray Nelson Center. Exercise participants designated as “Victims” reported to the MM106 Tent and simulated travel to the Radiological Reception Center.

Upon departing this station, “Victims” were issued a triage tag and were scanned by EM Tracker

utilizing Monroe FR personnel, beginning the evacuee tracking.

• Demographics (DE-2) – This station was co-located at the Mile Marker

106 tent and was used by MRC Volunteers and Monroe FR to enter

exercise “victim” demographic information into the EMTrack

system.

KEY LIME RADEX

• Greeting/Medical Screening Area (MA-3) – This would normally be set-up in two separate locations in the reception center and would be

used to locate any individuals with gross contamination and/or medical concerns not associated with radiological contamination.

For this exercise, Medical Reserve Corps and ESF-8 Strike Teams will utilize EM Tracker to scan all individuals/victims arriving at the

reception center.
