GG Scenario Element - Notification1

Element Title: Initial Notification

1. Theme: Initial notification
2. Action Summary: CANS system used to provide initiation notification of general populace, what is known (very little), and to get list of high-risk people (for later contact).
3. Cast:
   • CPA PIOs
   • Residents (on CANS list)
     These residents subscribed to the GG group with the CANS system before the exercise, adding their contact-entries (one or more).
4. Locale:
   • CPA EOC
   • Resident's location
5. Location in scenario:
   • Prerequisites: Activation
   • Enables: Notification2
6. Checklist items addressed:
   • Notify public of risks and symptoms
   • Start identification of those most likely to need priority treatment
   • Data on concert attendees to start contact/route tracing
7. Evaluation:
   Notification factors (the potential topics for this message are extensive):
   • Speed
   • Coverage
     • Households where no contact made
     • Individuals who get messages only indirectly, for example spouse or child took the call
   • Comprehensibility (do people understand)
   • Retention
     • Do people remember what has been said, or are they overloaded
     • Recognize that some may get the message when they cannot easily take notes, for example, on a cell phone while driving
   • Accuracy (correct recollection of what was said)
   • Extensible - helps people get additional info (or check forgotten info)
   • Satisfaction
   • What action would citizen take (indirect measure of impact of info)
   Method:
   • Questionnaire on web site?
8. Detailed Action:
   • Steps:
     • PIO formulates message
     • CANS distributes
   • Information distribution/HA:
     • EXERCISE
     • Introduce self: Auto Alert
     • Situation: Highly infectious disease detected
     • Reassurance:

       • Class of disease effectively treated with medication - working to confir which medication best and to set up distribution
     • Short-term measures:
       • Reduce vulnerability: germs need to be breathed in or enter through a cut in skin
         • Modest risk from airborne
         • Larger risk from touching contaminated surface and then touch your face near your nose or mouth
       • Limit exposure:
         • social distancing and other self-isolation
         • masks
       • Symptoms: list and what to do if displayed
     • Highest risk: Rock concert seems to be common to infected people
       • People attending rock concert
       • People likely to have been in close contact with those who attended: family members, mass transit after concert
