马里兰州完成灾难援助中心实战手册验证演练：强化灾后幸存者支援能力
马里兰州紧急事务管理局（MDEM）10月22日宣布，该局灾难援助中心（DAC）全天验证演练已顺利完成，标志着新近制定的《马里兰灾难援助中心/灾难恢复中心实战手册》通过实战检验。演练在黑格斯敦举行，汇集地方、州、联邦与非营利合作伙伴，旨在通过协同高效的恢复行动强化对灾难幸存者的支援能力。
演练中，各参与机构审查并确认了各自角色职责，练习了多层级恢复协调，识别了资源与能力缺口，并测试了援助中心选址、人员配置、通信与幸存者支援流程。上午为引导式讨论，涵盖中心启动程序、人员模式、后勤规划等；下午则与州机构伙伴开展基于情景的推演，模拟真实幸存者需求并练习协同响应。MDEM 秘书拉斯·斯特里克兰表示："这次演练让我们把所有伙伴聚到一起，验证后的手册既以幸存者为中心，在操作上也站得住脚。"演练总结的经验教训将纳入下一版手册。灾难风险降低规划师瓦妮莎·卡拉班说："我们的目标是确保每位幸存者都得到及时、协同的支援。"
Maryland Completes Disaster Assistance Center Playbook Validation Exercise: Strengthening Support for Disaster Survivors
The Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) announced on October 22 that its full-day Disaster Assistance Center (DAC) validation exercise was successfully completed, marking the practical testing of its newly developed Maryland Disaster Assistance Center/Disaster Recovery Center Playbook. The exercise, held in Hagerstown, brought together local, state, federal and nonprofit partners to strengthen support for disaster survivors through coordinated, efficient recovery operations.
During the exercise, participating agencies reviewed and confirmed their roles and responsibilities, practiced multi-level recovery coordination, identified resource and capability gaps, and tested assistance center siting, staffing, communications and survivor support processes. The morning featured a guided discussion covering center activation procedures, staffing models and logistics planning; the afternoon involved scenario-based exercises with state agency partners simulating real survivor needs and practicing coordinated responses. MDEM Secretary Russ Strickland said: 'This exercise brought all our partners together, and the validated playbook is both survivor-centered and operationally sound.' Lessons learned from the exercise will be incorporated into the playbook's next edition. Disaster risk reduction planner Vanessa Calaban said: 'Our goal is to ensure every survivor receives timely, coordinated support.'
