Agencies participate in disaster preparedness exercises
By SCOTT JORGENSEN
IVN Staff Writer
On Monday, April 27,
several government agencies
and the four area hospitals in
Grants Pass, Medford and Ash-
land participated in a full-day
exercise, “Cascadia Peril,”
involving simulated emer-
gency response to a 9.0-
magnitude earthquake.
Participating agencies
were the Jackson County
Board of Commissioners, the
city of Jacksonville, the Rogue
Valley Council of Govern-
ments, Jackson County Animal
Control, ODOT, Oregon State
Police, Josephine County
Emergency Communications,
Josephine County Community
Emergency Response Team,
and Josephine County Public
Health Dept.
But notes Belle Shepherd,
Josephine County Public
Health director, disaster prepa-
rations are being examined and
improved constantly.
“We have to exercise all
this stuff to know how it
works,” Shepherd said. “It’s
about the safety of people and
recovery efforts that we may
need to do.”
Public health agencies first
became involved in disaster
preparations after the Sept. 11,
2001 terrorist attacks on the
United States prompted the
federal government to provide
funds to local governments to
combat bioterrorism, Shepherd
said.
In Josephine County, most
disaster preparation duties are
split between Public Health and
the Emergency Management
agency, under the sheriff’s of-
fice. Shepherd estimates that one
full-time Emergency Manage-
ment staffer spends “about 75
percent” of her time formulating
readiness plans for transporta-
tion, searches, fires and floods.
Public Health handles wa-
ter, food, air, and vaccinations;
and shares mass sheltering
duties with the American Red
Cross, she said.
Aside from other govern-
ment entities, emergency man-
agement and public health co-
ordinate with many volunteer
organizations. For instance,
some area churches are in-
volved with storing food and
clothing.
An essential part of such
preparations is how well emer-
gency communication systems
and their backups work in a
disaster scenario.
If traditional communica-
tions are down, officials can
rely on ham radio, and can
even send documents through
such a system. Shepherd said
that Government Emergency
Telecommunications systems
and satellite phones are also
available for use.
During 2007, Josephine
County officials conducted a
100-year flood exercise in
Merlin. Shepherd said that it
was “definitely a successful
event.” It enabled the various
agencies to determine prob-
lems in their emergency re-
sponse systems.
“We try to plan for little
instances,” Shepherd said. “No
one wants to fall flat on their
face.”
The April 27 exercise in-
volved between 60 and 65 per-
sonnel from Jackson County
and around 10 from Josephine
County, Shepherd said. Offi-
cials practiced using Jackson
County’s backup emergency
facility, because its primary
one is located on the sixth floor
of a building that likely would
not survive a 9.0-magnitude
earthquake, she added.
“We have to create a
script, essentially,” Shepherd
said. “We had to build the ex-
ercise around that.”
Shepherd states that a 9.0
earthquake would affect every-
one in the state, and that in such
an event, Three Rivers Com-
munity Hospital in Grants Pass
probably would have to accom-
modate patients from Northern
California and the Southern
Oregon coast.
“An earthquake doesn’t
know boundaries from county
to county,” she said.
Josephine County’s emer-
gency preparation is “probably
better than some,” Shepherd
said, but can still use improv-
ing. Officials have learned
from such events as the 2002
Biscuit Fire and the New
Year’s Eve flood of 1996, she
noted.
“There have always been
learning environments, but
we’ve always been success-
ful,” Shepherd said.
The focus of emergency
exercises is to ensure that citi-
zens who need help can get it.
As such, Shepherd said it’s
better for individuals and fami-
lies to be prepared with a 72-
hour supply of food, water,
medicine and other necessities.
