of the EOP, Tidal Basin designed and conducted a tabletop exercise (TTX) with OA partners utilizing Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) criteria to validate the new plan. In a follow-up to the successful completion of the EOP and tabletop exercise, Tidal Basin was contracted to develop a power outage annex and a volunteer and donations management annex for DNCO OA and later, a transportation and evacuation annex. The outcomes of the exercise enhanced our understanding of how an emergency could impact vulnerable populations in the county and guided our development of all three annexes. Tidal Basin also provided management for the development of an NCRP3 Disaster Plan as an annex to the DNCO OA EOP that provided a foundation for the County’s development of an NCRP3 Response Team. We led the development of exercise materials to be used in the future to familiarize the NCRP3 Response Team and other stakeholders with the use of the plan.
