Discussion Exercise on Wide Area Biological Response and Recovery in South Carolina
| Hosted by SC Dept. of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), the SC Emergency Management Division (SCEMD), the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) |
The Operation Palmetto Bug Workshop has been designed as a single day discussion-based exercise to evaluate current response concepts, plans, and capabilities within South Carolina for a response to a widespread anthrax or other biological terrorist event. The workshop will focus on local, state, and federal integration procedures for an event of this type, with a strong emphasis on the transition from response to consequence management, and planning for long-term recovery. In doing so, the exercise seeks to include a broad range of participants from those with initial response and investigation missions, to those with long-term recovery missions. Interested planners and responders from throughout the state of South Carolina are invited to attend.
