On April 20, 2016 Region 7 Healthcare Coalition hosted the annual Regional Full Scale Exercise. During this exercise, hospitals, EMS, Emergency Management, Public Health, and Long Term Care partners found their preparedness levels challenged. In the exercise scenario, straight winds destroyed the Region, Munson Medical Center had to evacuate patients due to infrastructure damages and there was one patient with a special pathogen that needed transport to another facility. To understand their own level of preparedness, Partners had to test their communication using 800 MHz, use of hospital Emergency plans, evacuation plans, evacuation equipment, EM Resource and EM Track, and their use of MICIMS.
