Ocean Medical Center- Full Scale Disaster Drill

The Brick Township Office of Emergency Management and Ocean Medical Center have announced that a full-scale emergency exercise will be held on Sunday, August 7, 2011 beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the medical center. The exercise scenario presents a major hurricane and power outage in Brick Township, leading the hospital to shelter-in-place and eventually evacuate.

The purpose of the "Operations Surf's Up" drill is to examine interactions between local and State resources during a disaster, with focus on coordination and collaboration of effectively evacuating patients from Ocean Medical Center. It will also test the local resources ability to request additional resources if such an event should occur.
