Acronyms and TermsKey TermsCritical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) - Any system or asset vital to Fort Bend Countywhose incapacity or destruction would cause a devitalizing impact on physical, psychological, oreconomical security, public health or safety or any combination thereof.Core Capabilities – Thirty-two (32) distinct critical elements necessary to achieve the NationalPreparedness Goal.Exercise - An instrument to train for, assess, practice, and improve performance in prevention,protection, mitigation, response, and recovery capabilities in a risk-free environment. Exercisescan be used for testing and validating policies, plans, procedures, training, equipment, andinteragency agreements; clarifying and training personnel in roles and responsibilities; improvinginteragency coordination and communications; improving individual performance; identifyinggaps in resources; and identifying opportunities for improvement.Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) - A program that provides a set ofguiding principles for exercise programs, as well as a common approach to exercise programmanagement, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.Improvement Plan (IP) - The IP identifies specific corrective actions, assigns them to responsibleparties, and establishes target dates for their completion. The IP is developed in conjunction withthe After-Action Report.Incident Command System (ICS) – A management system designed to enable effective andefficient domestic incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment,personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizationalstructure.Progressive Approach - A progressive approach designated by the Homeland Security Exerciseand Evaluation Program that includes the use of various exercises aligned to a common set ofexercise program priorities and objectives with an increasing level of complexity over time.(Progressive exercise planning does not imply a linear progression of exercise types).National Incident Management System (NIMS) - The NIMS standard was designed to enhancethe ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single,comprehensive system for incident management. It is a nationwide approach for Federal, State,local, tribal, and territorial governments; the private sector; and nongovernmental organizationsto work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domesticincidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity.Fort Bend County MTEP December 20187
Acronyms and TermsNational Preparedness Goal - The National Preparedness Goal defines the core capabilitiesnecessary to prepare for the specific types of incidents that pose the greatest risk to the securityof the Nation. The Goal emphasizes actions aimed at achieving an integrated, layered, and all-ofNation preparedness approach that optimizes the use of available resources. Specifically, theGoal defines success as: “A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across thewhole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threatsand hazards that pose the greatest risk.”Fort Bend County MTEP December 20188
PurposePurposeThe purpose of the Fort Bend County (FBC) Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (MTEP) is todocument the process necessary to strengthen the core capabilities that are deemed essential inpreventing, protecting against, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering fromthreats and hazards. The Fort Bend County Training and Exercise Program employs a progressiveapproach that combines all-hazard planning, innovative trainings, and realistic exercises toenhance FBC’s overall preparedness capabilities.The MTEP displays Fort Bend County and its partners’ training and exercise activities for 20182020. This plan promotes communication and coordination among partners in the county andthe region and reduces duplication of efforts.MaintenanceThe MTEP is a dynamic document. A major update to the MTEP occurs annually during theTraining and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW). In addition, the MTEP Schedule should be updatedand distributed at minimum quarterly to reflect changes in scheduling and planning process.The Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management (FBC OEM) is the primary agencyresponsible for providing direction and oversite for the Fort Bend County MTEP.Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW)Each year, a Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW) is held to review and update the FortBend County MTEP. The TEPW provides a collaborative environment where Fort Bend Countyjurisdictional, non-profit, and private sector partners can meet and collaborate on the county’straining and exercise plans. For the plan, the TEPW was held on November 15, 2017 at the FortBend County Office of Emergency Management.The review and update process for the MTEP consisted of the following 3 objectives:1. Identify the primary threats and hazards with the potential to impact Fort Bend County2. Identify the core capabilities essential to combatting the identified threats and hazards3. Outline the cycle of training and exercise activities that will provide the most value instrengthening the identified core capabilitiesThe following sections discuss each of the objectives in greater detail.Fort Bend County MTEP December 20189
Top Threats and HazardsTop Threats and HazardsAs part of the 2017 annual review of the Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan for 2018-2020, theMultiyear Training and Exercise Planning Group (MTEPG) identified the top potential threats andhazards that have the ability to impact Fort Bend County. To identify the threats and hazards, theMTEPG considered many sources including the Fort Bend County Hazard Mitigation Plan, TexasPublic Health Risk Assessment Tool (TPHRAT), and local, national, and global historical events.Figure 1 below provides a visualization of the sources used to identify threats and hazards specifictoFortBendCounty.Threat and Hazard Identification Sources ConsiderationPlans and ProceduresLocal Historical EventsNational Historical EventsGlobal Historical EventsHistorical Weather DataOtherFigure 1Fort Bend County MTEP December 201810
Top Threats and HazardsThreat and Hazard Identification is important because it allows Fort Bend County to focus theirpreparedness efforts on the incidents and events most likely to occur or be most severe. Figure2 below demonstrates the identified threats and hazards perceived to be a top priority for FortBend County (in no particular order).Natural Hazards Severe Weathero Floodso Tropical Storms, Hurricaneso Heavy Rain, Thunderstormso Excessive Heato Droughto Tornadoes Wildfire Public Health Emergencies (i.e. pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks)o High Consequences Infections Diseases (e.g. Ebola)o Vector Borne Diseases (e.g. Zika)Technological Dam / Levee FailureHazardous Materials Release(HazMat)Train DerailmentPower FailureStructural CollapseFort Bend County MTEP December 2018Human - Caused Incident Figure 2Active Shooter, Hostile Intruder,Workplace ViolenceChemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear,Explosives (CBRNE) attackCivil Disturbance, Civil UnrestVehicle Ramming AttackCyber Attack/Incident11
Top Threats and HazardsCritical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR)Fort Bend County is committed to preserving the physical, psychological, and economic safetyand security of the County, its residents, and its visitors. The MTEPG recognizes that Fort BendCounty contains Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) which may be at greater risk ofbeing targeted or harmed by threats and hazards. It is essential to incorporate CIKR into theplanning, training, and exercise process. The vast majority of CIKR are privately owned andoperated; therefore the private sector must be included in the preparedness process toeffectively manage real-world emergencies.

Priority Core CapabilitiesPriority Core CapabilitiesThe National Preparedness Goal has established 32 core capabilities that are deemed criticalelements necessary to achieve and maintain a comprehensive level of preparedness. The corecapabilities are organized by the five emergency management mission areas; prevention,protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. (See Appendix A – Core Capabilities List for a listof each of the 32 core capabilities and their corresponding mission areas.) The Fort BendCounty Multiyear Training and Exercise Planning Group (MTEPG) conducted an analysis ofprevious Improvement Plans (IPs) and After-Action Reports (AARs) to determine which of thecore capabilities were most essential. (See Appendix B – Improvement Plan and After-ActionReport Analysis for the full IP and AAR assessment.) The following core capabilities wereidentified as most essential:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.Operational CoordinationOperational CommunicationsPublic Information and WarningPublic Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical ServicesSituational AssessmentCybersecurityPlanningHousingLogistics and Supply Chain ManagementThe following section provides a brief description of the essential core capabilities and anyidentified trainings, exercises, or special topics that would support the strengthening of theassociated capability.
