1 Abstract: This document describes a sample MUE tabletop exercise to help states become familiar with the components of the MUE Toolkit and how they are used during a MUE. This document is part of a larger set of documents comprising the MUE Toolkit. This document will generally require referencing one or more of the other documents such as the Glossary, Checklists, Guidance, or other referenced documentation for a complete understanding of the MUE Toolkit. If a disaster declaration has already been made in your state, go directly to the Do We Need Help Instructions for information and guidance in determining if your UI agency might experience a MUE. Introduction This document is a complete description of the tabletop exercise for the facilitator. The participants are only given the briefing and inserts, which are facts presented to the state UI agency representatives throughout the exercise. Your state UI agency should notify your USDOL RO first when your agency is ready to conduct a MUE tabletop exercise. Your USDOL RO can assist your UI agency in finding potential helper states and making other arrangements. While this tabletop exercise is for an impacted state and at least two helper states the results will be more meaningful if there are three to five potential helper states responding to the assistance request. If your state UI agency elects to use a NEMA/EMAC agreement in this tabletop exercise, it will require the participation of several states EMR. The UI agency s EMRs will involve their SEMAs to the extent required to process and broadcast a sample Req-A. This scenario describes a pandemic that puts a significant number of your state s citizens out of work for two to three weeks until vaccine can be delivered, administered, and take effect. The pandemic causes a MUE and your UI agency requests assistance from helper states. Because a pandemic can strike anywhere and spreads the fastest through major population centers, schools, and workplaces it can cause a MUE in almost every state. Purpose To verify your UI agency can complete and evaluate an assistance request. This exercise has the following goals and objectives: Clearly and accurately complete the header and Section I Request of the Assistance Request form. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the helper states. How well did they understand what was needed? How many questions did they have to ask and what were they? Printed: 11/15/ _Prep_SampMUETabletopExer_Ins_v1.7.doc Page 1 of 10
2 Clearly and accurately complete Section II Response of the Assistance Request form. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the impacted state. How well did it understand what was offered? How many questions did the impacted state have to ask the helper states and what were they? If your UI agency elects to use an EMAC agreement: Verify the header and Section I Request of the Assistance Request form includes all the information necessary for your UI agency s EMR to complete the request section of a Req-A form. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the impacted state s SEMA. Verify Section II Response of the Assistance Request form includes all the information necessary for your UI agency s EMR to complete the response section of a Req-A form. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the helper state s SEMA. If your UI agency elects to use a state-to-state agreement: Verify the header and Section I Request of the Assistance Request form includes all the information necessary for your UI agency s procurement review team. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the impacted state s procurement review team. Verify Section II Response of the Assistance Request form includes all the information necessary for your UI agency s procurement review team. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the helper state s contract review team. Generate an After-Action Report to document the results and make recommendations for improvement. The successful completion of this objective will be determined by the USDOL ROs involved. Prerequisites None Instructions Determine whether your UI agency will use an EMAC or state-to-state agreement for this exercise and contact the appropriate agencies to make arrangements. After your UI agency schedules the exercise, fill in the appropriate dates and names on the inserts and print them out for the exercise. This tabletop exercise is facilitated from the impacted state. The helper states receive no inserts. Helper states respond to the assistance request and ask questions. Be sure to make enough copies of the inserts for the participants and those who will be copied on the exercise materials and After-Action Reports.

3 Prepare a briefing that presents the goals for this exercise from the purpose section of this document. This briefing will be presented to both the impacted and helper states at the start of the exercise. Running the Exercise Step 1: Present the briefing to both the impacted and helper states. Perform introductions before you start the briefing if necessary. Step 2: Begin the exercise buy delivering the first insert, Newspaper article titled: Flu Outbreak Now Epidemic. Nudge the group if necessary with some non-leading questions to get them started. Take notes throughout discussions for the After-Action Reports. Relevant Point: The impacted state UI agency should foresee a pending MUE at this point and verify the preparation phase has been completed. Step 3: Continue the exercise by delivering the following inserts during the impacted state UI agency s verification of preparations delivering the fourth insert when they are complete or near completion. Insert 2 State of Emergency Declaration by Governor Insert 3 Federal Disaster Declaration Insert 4 Governor s Executive Order Relevant Point: The impacted state UI agency should have begun working through the Do We Need Help Instructions by this point in the exercise. Step 4: Deliver insert five, message titled Daily Absenteeism Report while the impacted state UI agency is working through the Do We Need Help Instructions. Relevant Point: The impacted state UI agency should begin contacting potential helper states and completing the Assistance Request Template at this point. The impacted state agency should be seeking remote assistance to avoid exposing helper state staff to the flu. Step 5: Observe and take notes during the completion & evaluation of the Assistance Request Template. Step 6: Collect feedback from the helper states and/or EMR as soon as they have finished processing sections I and II of the Assistance Request. Step 7: Have the helper state or EMR send back the fully executed state-to-state agreement or Req-A Form to the helper state(s). The exercise ends when the helper state receives a fully executed state-to-state agreement or Req-A form. Printed: 11/15/ _Prep_SampMUETabletopExer_Ins_v1.7.doc Page 3 of 10

5 Insert 1 Newspaper Article Local Paper: [Insert date 10 days prior to disaster declaration] Headline: Flu Outbreak Now Epidemic By: Reliable Reporter Local hospitals report number of flu cases is increasing to epidemic proportions. Doctors say this is a new strain of flu that spreads easily and causes serious illness. The doctors are waiting for results of tests being performed by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta to determine whether or not this new strain of flu is a form of Avian Influenza, commonly referred to as Bird Flu. We don t have a vaccine for this strain of flu yet, says Dr. Smith, head of epidemiology at the local hospital, and, if it keeps spreading at this rate, it will become a pandemic. Up to thirtyfive percent of the population could become ill. A pandemic is defined as an epidemic of infectious disease that spreads throughout human populations across a large region such as a state or country. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a pandemic can start when three conditions have been met: The disease is new to the population; it infects humans, causing serious illness; and it spreads easily and sustainably among humans. In the meantime doctors are urging people to practice common sense infection control measures such as frequent hand washing and cough etiquette. Doctors are also requesting voluntary home quarantine of members of households that are in contact with confirmed or probable flu victims. Dr. Smith recommends, Members of households with ill individuals stay home for seven days following the onset of symptoms in a household member. If other family members become ill during this period extend the time of voluntary home quarantine for another seven days from the time that the last family member becomes ill.
