2 Situation Manual Abstract The 2013 Simulated Emergency Test is sponsored by The Michigan Section of the ARRL. This Situation Manual (SitMan) was produced with input, advice, and assistance from the 2013 Simulated Emergency Test Exercise Planning Team, which followed guidance set forth by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). The 2013 Simulated Emergency Test Situation Manual (SitMan) provides exercise participants with all the necessary tools for their roles in the exercise. It is tangible evidence of Section's commitment to ensure public safety through collaborative partnerships that will prepare it to respond to any emergency. The 2013 Simulated Emergency Test is an unclassified exercise. Control of exercise information is based on public sensitivity regarding the nature of the exercise rather than actual exercise content. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use of exercise planners, facilitators, and evaluators, but players may view other materials that are necessary to their performance. All exercise participants may view the SitMan. All exercise participants should use appropriate guidelines to ensure proper control of information within their areas of expertise and protect this material in accordance with current jurisdictional directives. Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the DHS and the 2013 Simulated Emergency Test Exercise Planning Team. 2

4 Situation Manual 1. Introduction Each year on the first Saturday in October, the American Radio Relay League hosts a contest called the "Simulated Emergency Test" or SET. Michigan has long used this opportunity as a relatively complex exercise, rather than a contest, so the general "points getting" dimensions of SET are typically ignored. Nevertheless, jurisdictions are still strongly encouraged to submit the SET report to the ARRL, and where possible, engage local served agencies. 4

5 Objectives 2. Objectives 2.1. MARS Interface For some time the Section has enlisted the assistance of MARS for various exercises, but rarely have the MARS circuits been exercised heavily. Perhaps more importantly, there has been no effort to build processes by which local jurisdictions might exploit MARS. For this exercise, most traffic outbound from the SEOC will be transmitted via NTS circuits, much as has been done in the past. However, inbound traffic will be handled almost exclusively via MARS circuits. NTS Net Managers and ARES District Emergency Coordinators have been advised ahead of time to develop circuits to allow the local jurisdictions to contact their nearest MARS representative to transfer messages. MARS members have been ordered to make their availability known to DECs. Since most counties are likely not within VHF range of their MARS station, it is expected that counties will need the assistance of their NTS nets to aid in passing traffic to MARS Leadership Following the practice of previous exercises, the Net Managers and District Emergency Coordinators are given little guidance in how to execute their assigned task. In an actual event, the SEOC cannot manage everything that happens at the local level. Local leaders must make decisions based on their best available information. Since each jurisdiction has different challenges, resources and capabilities, it is expected that each jurisdiction will come up with its unique solution to the challenges posed Traffic Content As in previous exercises, participants should expect message traffic to be a mixture of radiograms and ICS forms. Other, non-ics forms may be required. 5

6 Situation Manual 3. Exercise Conduct At 0800, the SEOC will transmit its ICS-214 outlining the events leading up to the exercise. This for will be transmitted using Olivia 1K/8. This is not our normal practice, however it has been chosen over 8/500 for the added speed. The form will be transmitted on 3584kHz center frequency. If the F2 critical frequency is above 6 at the time of the exercise, it will be re-transmitted on 7044kHz center. Following the 214, a series of radiograms will be broadcast on 3563kHz. There will be an opportunity following the series of radiograms for fills, but the set will be sent automatically, so there will be no breaks between messages. Think of it as an ARRL Qualifying Run. Again, if the critical frequency is high, the broadcast will be repeated on The same series of radiograms will then be sent via Olivia 8/500 (the normal mode) on 3584 center and possibly again on Finally, the SEOC will stand by on 3932 to provide fills for any nets unable to receive the automated transmissions. All nets are encouraged to copy the CW or Olivia transmissions, however, since it will be fairly late when the radiotelephone session starts and this will put the served jurisdictions at a disadvantage. The SEOC will provide additional injects as the exercise proceeds through RF as well as the public switched network. Nets should guard 3563, 3584, 3932 as appropriate for that net. Injects affecting the entire section will be transmitted first on 3563, then 3584 and finally Note, however, that the SEOC's 214, which gives valuable context, will only be updated on 3584 Olivia 8/1K. 6
