Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program

Welcome to the 2017 Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program

This year the 2017 Statewide Medical and Health Exercise will take place on Thursday, November 16, 2017.

The Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program consists of four phases (Multi-media Training, Organizational Self Assessment, Tabletop Exercise, and Functional Exercise) where each phase helps to build on and prepare for the next phase. The program utilizes the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) and aligns with Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)/Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) grants.

The Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program is customizable to fit the needs of any local organization, facility, or jurisdiction. You can change the scenario, exercise date, objectives, or any other details to fit your needs.

You are welcome to dive into the templates offered for this year's exercise, including: discipline-specific Objectives, Scenario, Actor Cards, Exercise Plan, and many, many more. In total, 51 resources, including several newly created files, have been tailored and made available for planners. All files are designed to be intuitive, exhaustive, and easy to customize.

A Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (MYTEP) has also been developed for the Statewide Medical and Health Exercise Program. The MYTEP details suggested capabilities, scenarios, and focus regions for future years.

Special thanks to planners who have graciously provided their feedback on the exercise.
