Lessons Learned Opportunities to Improve Create an address for Control to capture exercise data Objectives should be more strategic and less tactical ▫Understanding the process for developing objectives Better understanding of shifts as opposed to Operational Periods
Lessons Learned Opportunities to Improve Training ▫Need additional training and practice in the ICS process ▫Focus on Planning cycle (both Reactive and Proactive) meetings with agenda, desired outcomes and deliverables ▫Position specific training would be beneficial
Lessons Learned Opportunities to Improve Better space/layout with more space for JIC Better definition on who was in each role during the initial response Capture the process for releasing the initial press briefing Template on information DOT PHMSA will need up front (asset integrity has began to develop one)
Lessons Learned Opportunities to Improve Connectivity - issues with internet, phone service Need to develop GRPs for local area Have a projector to show updated maps on a display Preload the local response equipment and make them easier to pull up.
Lessons Learned Opportunities to Improve Examples of finished "products" or forms in order to learn Too many people in the initial incident Would like to have situational updates on the hour
Lessons Learned Opportunities for DEQ to Improve Develop Environmental Unit job aid Additional oil spill response training & exercise participation in the regional offices SCAT training in the regional offices Develop cleanup end states/standards for pipeline products
