Can the sim-cell training package be used as the actual phone communication center if needed?
No. The EOC SimCell™ is an EOC operations-based exercise tool for simulating two-way message traffic during an emergency or area disaster. Telephones are not included. I will say that the EOC SimCell™ is a real breakthrough in terms of organizing and conducting realistic EOC exercises, without having to hire consultants or spend a lot of time and resources training exercise controllers. The EOC SimCell™ can be used with any EOC. Q: We are utililizing OpsCenter now, which fully handles all functions in the EOC. We are also interconnecting with WebEOC on the WA side. We may use some charts, but lack the $$ right now. A: You might find the EOC SimCell™ interesting for your operations-based EOC exercises. See http://www.emergency-planning.com/products/eoc-simcell/. It took a few years to develop and test, but it’s simple and it works!
