Waste Disposal
• Huge RDD challenge: no solution?• Pre-planning framed LRE waste discussion
– Philadelphia RDD workshop w/ LRE scenario– Waste calculation tool
• State, Locals, stakeholders recognized need for local solutions
• LRE waste team players included State Rad and Waste, ACOE, NRC and EPA personnel
• Developed overall waste handling plan and strategy as LRE exercise product
![Page 39: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Drills, Exercises and Training
• ICS training & experience enabled EPA IMT to manage 700 players & 100s of activities
• “Just-in time” training gave EPA participants needed Rad, RDD and technical skills
• LRE was a success because of EPA’s ICS training, regular exercises and deployment experience
![Page 40: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Critical Misses
![Page 43: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Liberty RadEx
• National Tier 2 Exercise (EPA’s first)
• Approximately 1000 participants representing over 30 agencies
• Complex scenario/Specialized ICS
• First NEP Exercise to focus on: – “Post-emergency” phase– WMD cleanup– “Community recovery”
Orientation Monday: Lots to Learn!• Complex scenario• Specialized ICS• Over one hundred units & activities• 100,000s data points
Transition Failure:• Real-world: one on one shadowing• Not possible for exercises• Post-emergency exercise challenge.
![Page 44: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Registration: 1000 people; long, slow, painful
Solution: Hire a professional and don’t use Agency software.
![Page 45: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Limited Space: Crowded, noisy, too many activities.Planned and contracted for an exercise of about 500.
Solution: Overestimate logistical needs
Too little room
![Page 46: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
•Simulated Data: Day 30 - 90
100,000s multimedia data pointsAccessData productsQA/QC: It’s all fake!
![Page 47: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Historic Documentation: Day 30 – 90Too much, too little, not right kind, confusing.
600 page Explan: Who read it?Poor transition: Didn’t explain it.Highly technical: Not the right kind.
![Page 48: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Staffing Plan
• Developed staffing plan/matrix too late
• Delayed assignments & training
• Prevented advance orientation
• Entire focus of last 6 weeks for planning team
![Page 49: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Planning Section
• Short term planning (operational) vs. long-term (environmental planning)
• Environmental Unit:– Overwhelmed Planning Section– Too large– Many responsibilities– Management structure and organization not adequate
for size and responsibilities
• Data quality and management– Dispersed between Sections and Units
![Page 50: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Planning Cycle
• Planning began November 2009 (EPA only)
• Designated DHS National Exercise 2/09• Concepts and Objectives Conference 3/09• Full planning team not formed until 9/09• “Real” planning began 10/09• January 2010: “Oh xxxx!” moment…… • Exercise 4/10
![Page 53: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Budget
• Economic downturn: State and local budgets
• Short planning cycle: Not on Feds radar or in budget plans.
• EPA travel $$$: Deploy 270 personnel from across the country (Philadelphia is high $$$ per diem and lodging)
![Page 54: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Staffing
• Sign up: Late, later, last minute, and show up!
• 80 specialized ICS Units (match skills)• Highly technical positions• Agency roles• Evaluators and controllers• Shortage of experts• Agencies and EPA volunteers
![Page 55: Liberty RadEx National RDD Exercise Philadelphia, PA April, 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/568146af550346895db3cc2f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Corrective Action Proposals
• Proposed: Not final until Washington (DC) “buy-in”
