GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY SIMULATION
ANNEX E: SAMPLE SCRIPTS | Pg 144
The Prime Ministers Office has asked the Ministry of finance to put together a budget for
supporting emergency relief operations in the flood affected areas.
Please supply:
1. A list of financial resources that my be utilised,
2. Describe where this money will come from and what will be the longer term impact,
3. Describe short falls that will be required to be met through international mechanisms
Reply to the Simulation Control Centre (SIMULATION BASE) as soon as possible.
Topic: FINANCIAL REQUEST
From: Prime Ministers Office
To: All departments and Ministries
9. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
To assist the Ministry of Finance, the Prime Ministers office has requested that all agencies and
departments involved in disaster relief are to put together a proposed budget for operations for
the next month. This should be an overview and does not need to be very detailed.
This information is required ASAP and must be submitted to the SAC in the next 30 minutes
Topic: NGO public statement
To: ALL
10. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
OXFAM GB has declared on CNN that it has dispatched several planes bringing relief items in
the last 4 hours and that it can supply safe water for 10,000 people.
1. What needs to be put in place to receive these items?
2. How can the government assist with the coordination of these supplies?
Topic: Immediate food aid is required
To: Ministerial Coordination Council/Ministry of Interior/Welfare
CC: Ministry of Foreign Affairs
11. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
The initial assessment results indicate that food is needed immediately in all the affected areas
as the population have lost all their food stocks and household belongings. Adding to the crisis,
grain reserves are depleted and additional external food aid would be required immediately.
All departments are to consult relevant partners and respond to following questions:
How should we respond to immediate food requirements?
What additional inputs are required to provide a sustained food supply?
What options should we consider to provide food aid in urban settings? What type of
infrastructure would be required? (Storage, transport, distribution mechanisms etc…)
Does the food shortage bring extra risks to female-headed families, the elderly or others?
Can we involve the international community and who should coordinate this task?
Topic: DETERIORATION OF SECURITY SITUATION
To: Police and Civil defence
CC: All heads of Department
12. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
There are reliable reports indicating that the security situation could deteriorate rapidly particularly
in areas worst affected by the flooding. Security is a major concern to most of the people being
evacuated from the affected areas and are looking to the government for leadership.
Please provide an overview of security arrangements that could address these concerns to the
Simulation Control Centre (SIMULATION BASE) in the next 30 minutes.
Topic: COMMUNICATIONS
To: Emergency Services
Cc: Ministry of Interior/Civil Defence
13. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
The relay antennae of ZAIN has collapsed as a result of flooding making the mobile network
unreliable. The only secure means of communication between downtown Dar and the field
teams working in the affected areas is via radio networks or satellite phone.
Please inform the simulation centre of any plans to use alternate independent means of
telecommunication. If this includes radio communications (either HF or VHF) please include
frequencies and call signs. If this includes Sat Phones, please include at least two numbers
and the location of the handsets. These systems may be called by the SAC
Topic: Emergency telecoms
To: Emergency Services
CC: Ministry of Interior
14. SIMULATION-SIMULATION-SIMULATION
In view of the likelihood of increased assessment missions to the rural districts affected by
floods, the WFP has set up a temporary communication infrastructure for all humanitarian
actors in Bagamoyo and Pangani where local communication means have been interrupted.
What is government policy towards independent radio communications operators?
What permits will be required?
How can these permits be facilitated?
Can the government also use compatible communications?
Provide an outline within 45 minutes with copy to the simulation base.
