Well, its been a while since the last posting on the site... but we've been keeping busy. One of the activities of interest recently has been participation in the national marine oil spill exercise. This time held in Dunedin, the national response team responded to a simulated collision between two vessels. This was the first outing for the Maritime New Zealand information management system developed in WebEOC. Still in development, the team identified a number of refinements the package will need to have to make it fully effective. Having said that though, the team responded to this exercise faster than ever before and had a better plan for implementation the next morning.
The crew from our region included Ian Lowe and me as well as Kerri Morgan and Helen McConnell from Massey University Wildlife Health Centre.
Oh well... hopefully nothing more until next years exercise (ready to go in an hour though!!)

Jeremy Husmann went down to the exercise to support Maritime NZ and identify future board enhancements and developments to WebEOC. His blog entry is available here: http://nzhealthwebeoc.blogspot.com/2009/04/martime-nz-oil-spill-exercise.html
