Well it's been a couple of days since my last message. The Group ECC and five of the local EOCs have been busy with Exercise Regroup. A pandemic influenza exercise with a focus on the CDEM Group activities.
On the whole I think the exercise was worthwhile. The aim and objectives have been achieved and a little bit more to boot. The formal debreif is not until 4th July but already a few things are standing out for me. We will be adjusting the CDEM Group's Pandemic Plan to reflect changes in communications process between the DHBs and the local EOCs. For routine matters that are best dealt with at a local level, this should be direct rather than via the ECC (which deals with more strategic issues).
The ECC will be refreshing some internal procedures in particular to build on the technological advances in our processes. I think we have enough training recommendations to last a year or more - at least now we can write the 08-09 training programme!
All in all - good job everyone. Thanks to all who participated and especially those who came in to assist us in running and assessing the exercise and the Group's capability.
