UPDATE: Tabletop with state and regional health care emergency managers yesterday, field exercise today (Saturday)
Ottilie W. Lundgren was 94 years old when she died of inhalational anthrax in 2001, the only Connecticut resident affected by the anthrax incidents of that year. How she got it and why she died remain a mystery to this day. In her memory, the state's newly acquired mobile field hospital (MFH) is now officially known as the Ottilie W. Lundgren Memorial Field Hospital.

I had the opportunity to be an observer at CT's latest tabletop exercise, held yesterday in Berlin, CT.
The format was quite different than the regional tabletops. In the earlier regional exercise, set up for school superintendents and town-oriented work groups, each town saw a series of videos constructed like an evening newscast, with increasingly dire scenarios presented. Very useful, especially for those more or less starting from the beginning.
Yesterday's was more a statewide reality check. The 30 or so 'players' were issued a draft of the next iteration of the CT pandemic plan (I wasn't a player and I haven't seen it). Using the draft, the players were then asked to address four sweeping topics: surveillance, communication, antivirals and vaccines, and school dismissal/ community mitigation. State people played themselves and assumed their roles. So did town and regional health officials.

Welcome to FW fellow Connecticut preppers! Hello to Goju, LauraB, Dem, and hopefully there will soon be many others from our fair state joining the discussion. If you are new here, please introduce yourself - we are pretty friendly and all of us are here to help.
Here in Connecticut, we need to begin to move ahead with local community engagement, education, and preparation. Let's figure out the best ways to do that!
We have a lot of work to do in our state. You will find a wealth of very current information here at FW. Please share that information with your local community leaders here in CT. With regard to pandemic, they need all the help you can give them.
Planning is very local everywhere in New England (here in CT we do not have county health bodies as do some states) so local action is vital. We hope each of you will become involved in pandemic planning and preparation in your towns, and help to inform your friends and families in surrounding towns as well.
