News Release on the exercise
1.People's Association - Community Emergency Preparedness
EXERCISE NORTHSTAR V
PEOPLE¡¯S ASSOCIATION - COMMUNITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
FACT SHEET
Introduction
Community emergency preparedness is an important area of focus for
the People's Association (PA). Our aim is to ensure that Singapore
remains a cohesive society even during times of crisis. With its
vast community outreach, the PA and its grassroots organisations are
key pillars in building up community resilience during emergencies.
Through this network, the PA and its grassroots organizations
maintain racial harmony, social cohesion, garner community
self-help, disseminate essential information to residents, provide
reassurance and gather necessary feedback from residents during an
emergency.
Objective
2
The objective of PA¡¯s involvement in Exercise Northstar V is to test
our grassroots organisations¡¯ emergency response plan and
capabilities. This exercise will also give grassroots leaders a
first-hand experience in handling emergencies. This will help them
fine-tune their plans, put into practice the training that they have
received in community engagement during emergencies, and to help
them serve the community better during a crisis.
Grassroots¡¯ Involvement in Exercise Northstar V
3
The PA will involve about 300 grassroots leaders of all ethnic
backgrounds in this exercise. About 150 of them are from three
constituencies, namely Bishan-Toa Payoh North, Tanglin-Cairnhill and
Toa Payoh Central. Their involvements are as follows:
a.
80 Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members (40 members from
Tanglin-Cairnhill and 40 members from Bishan-Toa Payoh North) will
role-play as MRT commuters at Dhoby Ghaut MRT & Toa Payoh MRT
Stations respectively. They will also identify themselves as CERT
members when the disaster occurs and render assistance to injured
commuters before the arrival of the emergency responders. These
commuters will render the necessary first-aid or assistance when the
disaster occurs.
b.
20 CERT members (10 members from Tanglin-Cairnhill & 10 members from
Toa Payoh Central) will assist the SCDF as first-aiders at the Dhoby
Ghaut MRT and Toa Payoh MRT-First Aid Points (FAPs). These members
will render necessary, simple first-aid assistance to the medical
staff at the FAP.
c.
Activate 50 grassroots leaders trained in CARE (Caring in Response
to Emergencies) program to assist the CARE Officers at the Family
Assistance Centre (FAC) by role-playing as distressed family
members. (30 participants deployed at Toa Payoh Central Community
Club-FAC, 10 participants each deployed at Tan Tock Seng Hospital
and Singapore General Hospital respectively) They will role-play as
distressed family members looking for their loved ones who may be
involved or affected in the incident.
4
Another 140 Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG) and Civil Defence
Executive Committee (CDEC) Chairmen and members would also be
attending the exercise at the Marina South and Raffles MRT Stations
to learn from the rescue and evacuation efforts mounted by the SCDF
and Home Team agencies.
About Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG)
5
The PA has set up an Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG) under the
Citizens¡¯ Consultative Committee (CCC) in each constituency. The CCC
together with its EPG take a lead role in emergency preparedness in
the constituency to co-ordinate local-level responses to emergencies
such as community outbreaks of diseases, water shortages, fires and
civil emergencies. Essentially, the CCC and the EPG plan and execute
emergency preparedness programmes under the guidance of the PA. They
help the emergency services to disseminate information to the
community, provide assurance to maintain community confidence and
hasten the recovery to normalcy.
About Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
6
To strengthen the emergency response capability of the community at
the local level, both during peacetime and emergencies, the EPGs and
CDECs work with the Residents¡¯ Committees (RCs) and Neighbourhood
Committees (NCs) to form CERTs at the RC and NC zonal level. The
CERTs, which are equipped with basic training in civil defence
skills such as first-aid, CPR, fire safety, in-place protection and
evacuation, assist the EPG and CDEC in its public education efforts
during peacetime. During emergencies, they render simple first-aid
to victims, assist emergency authorities in crowd control and
evacuation and collect and disseminate information in an emergency.

EXERCISE NORTHSTAR V -
PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR IS WELL-PREPARED TO RESPOND TO ANY TERRORIST
ATTACK
The
Land Transport Authority (LTA), together with more than 20
government agencies, and the two public transport operators, SBS
Transit and SMRT Corporation, participated in Exercise Northstar V
today. More than 80 LTA staff took part in the exercise.
This first large-scale civil emergency exercise involves multiple
locations and disruptions to public transport services. It has
allowed LTA and the public transport operators to put our
established incident management procedures to test, and sharpen our
operational readiness in responding to multiple terror attacks in
Singapore. The exercise showed that the authorities and public
transport operators are well-prepared to provide an effective and
efficient response to any attack. By providing shuttle bus services
to replace the disrupted train services, the public transport
operators have also helped to minimise inconvenience to the public,
while involving the public in this emergency exercise.
LTA¡¯s Incident Management Framework
When an actual incident occurs, LTA¡¯s Crisis Management Group (CMG)
will be activated and over 300 LTA staff will report back to LTA¡¯s
Crisis Command Centre. The CMG is a complete incident management
outfit covering all areas of operations including human resource and
logistics needed to deal with the incident.
In
an incident such as a terror attack on land transport facilities,
LTA¡¯s role is to provide specialist information and support to aid
SCDF and the Police in their rescue and recovery efforts. It will
reinstate the road network and/or work with the public transport
operators to restore the public transport system and resume public
transport services.
Together with the Homefront agencies and public transport operators,
LTA has taken part in many previous exercises and is part of the
multi-agency team preparing for Exercise Northstar V. LTA also
organises regular emergency preparedness exercises so that we can be
operationally ready in an event of a crisis.
Safeguarding Public Transport Security
In
Singapore, more than 4 million trips are made using the MRT, LRT or
buses everyday. Although there is no specific threat to Singapore¡¯s
public transport network, the current security climate shows that
anyone at any place could be at risk.
Recognising the importance of security in the public transport
system, BG (NS) Yam Ah Mee, Chief Executive of LTA, chairs a Public
Transport Security Committee (PTSC) to scan the security horizon to
determine the additional measures needed to be introduced to enhance
public transport security. The PTSC, set up in April 2004, comprises
senior officials from the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Home
Affairs, LTA and the public transport operators.
For
example, the PTSC has reviewed the use of transit security guards
and patrols by Police in the stations and on trains. The committee
also carries out public education campaigns ¨C through posters and
in-station and in-train announcements - to heighten commuters¡¯
security awareness so that they will exercise greater vigilance on
their daily journeys.
LTA
is also working with the Homefront agencies to review how to enhance
coverage of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras at MRT stations
and bus interchanges.
3.Ministry of Health
MINISTRY OF HEALTH, EXERCISE NORTHSTAR V
FACT SHEET
BACKGROUND
1.
Exercise Northstar V aims to test multi-agencies¡¯ response and
effectiveness in carrying out their tasks to manage multiple bomb
blast incidents (including a chemical agent (CA) attack) affecting
Singapore¡¯s land transportation systems. Under the Ops CE (Civil
Emergency) plan, SCDF is the Incident Manager (IM) whilst the
Ministry of Health (MOH) will be the lead agency for overall medical
operations.
MISSION OF MOH IN A CIVIL EMERGENCY
2.
The mission of MOH and its medical services in a civil emergency is:
(a)
To save lives and treat injuries.
(b)
To minimize the impact of stress-related trauma to disaster victims
and disaster management personnel.
ROLE OF MOH IN A CIVIL EMERGENCY
3.
MOH¡¯s role is to provide medical support and treatment to casualties
suffering from physical and psychological injuries. MOH will deploy
medical teams to the incident site(s) to stabilize the casualties;
coordinate the evacuation of casualties to the public hospitals and
polyclinics; and provide prompt medical care. MOH also provides for
psychological first-aid and emotional care to the casualties,
relatives of the injured and rescue personnel, as part of emergency
behavioural Transfusion Medicine (CTM) ensures the adequacy of blood
to treat the casualties,
Transfusion Medicine (CTM) ensures the adequacy of blood to treat
the casualties, whilst the Centre for Forensic Medicine (CFM)
provides all necessary forensic services.
MEDICAL RESPONSE SYSTEM
4.
The medical response to a mass casualty situation involves both
on-site medical aid and treatment of casualties in hospitals. This
exercise will enable MOH and its agencies to practise the MOH
emergency medical response and command and control of all medical
operations.
5
To ensure prompt medical attention to casualties, field medical
teams will be deployed at the disaster sites. Drawn from the public
hospitals and polyclinics, the field team will render first aid,
triage and stabilise the casualties and also ensure the smooth
evacuation of casualties to hospitals for further treatment. In a
mass casualty disaster, a total of 23 field medical teams can be
deployed from the restructured hospitals and polyclinics. For the
purpose of this exercise, 15 teams would be deployed in three waves,
with a total of 24 doctors and 48 nurses activated.
6.
In addition to the field medical teams, the Institute of Mental
Health (IMH) would deploy field teams to provide psychological
support and counselling to both victims and disaster response
personnel at the disaster site. Each IMH Field Team consists of a
psychiatrist, a psychologist, 2 nurses and a medical social worker.
Up to a total of 3 IMH field teams can be dispatched to the incident
site¡¯s FAP. 22 CARE officers from various agencies will also be
deployed to provide psychological support to victims and their
families.
7.
During a disaster, hospitals are expected to handle large numbers of
injured persons. The six restructured hospitals (SGH, TTSH, AH, NUH,
CGH, KKH) will be activated to not only provide medical teams to the
disaster site but also receive casualties from the disaster site.
Hospitals will immediately initiate an appropriate level of recall
and mobilization of staff whilst preparing their Department of
Emergency Medicine (DEM) to receive and treat casualties. Disaster
wards will be designated for casualties requiring inpatient
admission, There will also be temporary reduction of specialist
outpatient services to an appropriate level or suspension
altogether. Prepare Operating Theatres (OTs) and Intensive Care
Units (ICUs) will also be ramped up to handle arriving casualties
arriving from the DEM. Hospital¡¯s Operations Centre will be
activated for direct coordination with MOH Operations Centre. The
hospital will also activate its Hospital Information Bureau (HIB)
which serves as the focal point for all enquiries concerning
casualty information to be directed. The HIB works closely with the
SPF-CID team to help provide NOK details to facilitate the matching
of patients to their next-of-kins.
MEDICAL RESOURCES TO BE DEPLOYED
8.
There will be a total of 1,280 participants taking part in the
ground deployment exercise. They are from MOH Headquarters, the 7
restructured hospitals (SGH, TTSH, AH, NUH, CGH, KKH, IMH), and
Polyclinics from the Singhealth and National Health Care Group (Outram
and Hougang Polyclinics).

5.Singapore Police Force
POLICE¡¯S ROLE IN A DISASTER
In
the event of a civil emergency as a result of a bomb blast or
multiple bomb blast situation, Police would immediately swing into
action with key objectives in mind which includes facilitating and
helping in the rescue of casualties, securing and preserving the
scene of the incident to facilitate evidence gathering and
investigation to capture the perpetrators, protecting the public and
key installations from further attacks , providing information and
assistance to public affected and reassurance to the public to
facilitate a speedy return to normalcy.
Patrol officers responding to the scene of a disaster such as a
terrorist attack would immediately proceed to secure the incident
site and roads to enable emergency response teams and vehicles to
have quick access and exit. The patrol officers would also
facilitate evacuation management, preserve the scene of the incident
and look for eyewitnesses while their colleagues from the SCDF
handle the main task of rescue operations and first aid to victims.
Road blocks and increased checks would be carried out by Police at
the vicinity and other locations to look for suspects connected with
the incident In light of the terrorist threat, all patrol officers
have been trained to spot signs telling of a suspicious person and
well versed in questioning such suspected persons.
A
team of specially trained officers from CID, trained in post blast
investigation would descend on the scene soon after to process the
crime scene to uncover leads that would help identify the type of
explosive, device or method used. The team of officers would also
canvass for and interview witnesses, identified by patrol officers
prior to their arrival, recover CCTV footage from MRT stations,
transport operators and other possible sources, review images and
recordings obtained from public and liaise with their foreign
counterparts on information which can track down the perpetrators
leading to their apprehension and prosecution. These investigators
have undergone training both locally conducted by foreign experts on
bomb blast investigation techniques as well as overseas in the
United Kingdom, Australia, United States of America, Indonesia and
Thailand. The team also gained much experience in their trips to
countries where actual incidents took place such as Indonesia,
London and Bangladesh and has established linkages with our foreign
counterparts including Israel to share information, techniques and
skills in post blast investigation.
To
help in the investigations and obtain information speedily and
conveniently, Police have in place some avenues for public to
provide the information. In addition to the police hotline
1800-2550000 or approaching any police officer or calling the police
station, members of public could also go on-line and provide the
information including images or video clips on the website
www.spf.gov.sg/iwitness.
In
the meantime, to ensure safety of the public and prevent risk of
further attack, more officers would be mobilized and recalled to
duty. NSmen, auxiliary police officers and even SAF officers would
be mobilized to support the deployment to conduct high profile
patrols, checks and protect the key installations at Jurong Island
and other places. The security at the checkpoints would also be
stepped up with more stringent checks in place.
Police, fully aware of the dilemma and trauma faced by next-of-kin
affected in a mass casualty incident due to the disaster have in
place measures to help the public. To this end a Family Assistance
Centre would be set-up at a convenient location for the next-of-kin,
relatives and friends to seek assistance from agencies such as
police, People¡¯s Association, Community Development Council, public
transport operators and MCYS. They could also seek information about
the situation at the incident site, obtain updates on the search for
missing and lodge reports. The centre would also have staff who are
trained counselors, recognizing the fact that those who approach the
staff at the Family Assistance Centre would be in a emotional state
and may require emotional support and counseling to see them through
the difficult period. Relatives would also be able to seek
assistance from MCYS and Ministry of Foreign Affairs by approaching
their staff who would also be stationed at the centre.
Another recourse for next-of-kin, relatives or friends to report
persons who may be victims in a disaster, is to call a special
number 1800-3540000 manned by police at a call centre. Alternatively
they may do it on-line on the Unaccounted Persons Information Centre
website www.spf.gov.sg/upc specially for the same purpose, or the
Electronic Police Centre at the SPF website or make a report at any
of the Neighbourhood Police Centres or posts.
To
help the next-of-kin in their time of anxiety in finding their loved
ones, information and reports obtained would be cross referenced on
victims found at the scene as well as those taken to hospital.
However the most challenging and painful task is in undertaking the
task to identify victims who lost their lifes and worse badly
affected by the blast disaster. This is not an easy task and the CID
have officers trained in Disaster Victim Identification in line with
international standards. These officers will work side by side with
pathologists and forensic officers from the Health Sciences
Authority to identify and match the victims. This group of police
officers are trained in knowing the importance of gathering the
right information from the next-of-kin to constitute a match,
conducting preliminary examinations of the victim at the scene which
includes fingerprinting and photographing, proper preservation with
use of refrigerated containers, collating all information derived
and systematically matching to establish the identity. Our Disaster
Victim Identification team had chalked up valuable experience in
Phuket when they helped as part of international effort of more than
a 100 police officers and forensic experts who worked on more than
5,000 bodies. Whilst there, the team of CID officers also
contributed their skills in fingerprint identification of the data
received contributing to matching of the dead.
Police¡¯s role would also be to work with the grassroots
organizations and community partners to assure the public and
business community to maintain public confidence and calm. Briefings
would be conducted by police together with community partners to
keep the residents informed on the situation, address their concerns
on safety , dispel rumours or unfounded fears and maintain community
cohesion. Apart from the mass media, Police would also reach out to
public through members in the Neighbourhood Watch Zone and
Citizens-on-Patrol. For business community members participating in
the Security Watch Group a special scheme called Corporate First
Responder allows identified personnel from the business community
access into the restricted cordoned area to aid rescue and recovery
efforts as well as execute business continuity recovery plans. These
key business continuity personnel have access to restricted sites
post-incident when safety permits, even while rescue, recovery and
post-incident investigation activities are ongoing, so as to enable
participants in the scheme to sustain essential business functions
and take mitigation measures that will help maintain the businesses¡¯
viability after the incident. The ultimate outcome in engaging the
community being, preserve peace, maintain harmony amongst the
community, track down and bring the perpetrators to justice and
build public confidence to carry on life as normal with the minimum
of disruption.
The
Singapore Police Force and all other agencies involved in today¡¯s
civil emergency exercise, have come together not only to test the
level and standards of co-ordination but to prove to public our
capabilities and resolve in being able to tackle the threat of
terrorism if it strikes here.

News Release on the exercise
MULTI-AGENCY CIVIL EMERGENCY EXERCISE
CONDUCT OF EXERCISE
1.
A Civil Emergency (CE) Exercise involving the Singapore Civil
Defence Force (SCDF) and some 21 other Home Team and Related
Agencies (RA) was conducted at the following 5 locations this
morning:
a.
Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station;
b.
Marina Bay MRT Station;
c.
Toa Payoh MRT Station;
d.
Toa Payoh Bus Interchange; and
e.
Raffles Place MRT Station.
2.
Based on the recent multiple terrorist attacks on the public
transport networks in London and Madrid, the three hour emergency
exercise, which started at 6.30 am, simulated simultaneous bomb
blasts at the various locations as well as the release of a chemical
agent at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. These incidents triggered
massive emergency responses from the Homefront agencies, including
the SCDF and the Singapore Police Force (SPF). The 22 participating
agencies of the exercise are listed at Annex A. The SCDF is the
Incident Manager for dealing with civil emergencies in Singapore.
3.
During the exercise which involved over 2,000 personnel;
thunderflashes, smoke and fire simulators were used. About 500
simulated casualties with injuries were also deployed to test
emergency rescuers at the scene. To further invoke a sense of
realism, the date, time and exact details of the exercise were not
released until 15 minutes before the exercise, after which
announcements on the exercise were carried by local broadcast media.
This was a deliberate move to better gauge and test the exercise
participants, including the train commuters who were either in the
trains or MRT stations when the exercise started.
4.
Apart from the on-site multi-agency response and mitigation, the
exercise also involved off-site crisis management, such as the
medical evacuation of mock casualties by SCDF, the Singapore Armed
Forces and private ambulances to the participating hospitals and
polyclinics. Personnel from SPF and the Ministry of Community
Development, Youth and Sports also rendered assistance to family and
relatives at the Family Assistance Center. In addition, the People¡¯s
Association activated its Emergency Preparedness Group, Community
Emergency Response Teams and other volunteers in support of the
exercise.
5.
In-train and in-station announcements were made during the exercise
to inform the commuters of their involvement in the exercise, as
well as the disruption of train services. About 3,000 commuters on
board the affected trains were evacuated from the trains and an
alternative mode of transportation in the form of a shuttle-bus
service was provided by SBS Transit Ltd and SMRT Corporation Ltd.
This was to minimise inconvenience to the affected commuters.
6.
Road closures by the Traffic Police were kept to the minimum.
Cordons were set up within the immediate exercise vicinity and
strictly enforced to facilitate the conduct of the exercise.
EXERCISE ANNOUNCEMENTS/ALERTS
7.
Members of the public were informed of the CE exercise through a
series of pre-exercise announcements and alerts. From 28 Dec 2005,
posters in the four official languages were placed at all MRT
stations and bus interchanges to alert commuters of the exercise.
The public was further kept informed of the exercise though the
media.
8.
During the exercise on 8 Jan 06, MediaCorp TV¡¯s scroller message
facility and teletext, MediaCorp radio announcements and the
Expressway Monitoring Advisory System (EMAS) alerted the public of
the on-going exercise, including the disruption of train services,
closure of affected train stations, and the affected roads within
the immediate exercise vicinity. More information was also made
available on the CNA and SCDF websites.
9.
¡®Exercise-In-Progress¡¯ signboards were also prominently placed at
affected MRT Stations, participating polyclinics, hospitals and
community club throughout the exercise.
CONCLUSION
10.
This CE exercise is part of SCDF¡¯s and its related agencies¡¯
on-going efforts to sharpen our respective operational readiness and
joint-capabilities for handling terror attack situations. It tested
the coordination and validated the emergency response system of the
various agencies, which included the two public transport operators,
namely SBS Transit and SMRT.
11.
The exercise was also an opportunity to directly involve members of
the public so that they could experience firsthand the impact of
similar disasters and the ways to counter them. The exercise was a
reflection of the nation¡¯s resolve and state of readiness to manage
terrorism and other large scale emergencies.
12.
The success of the exercise depended not only on the government
agencies and the transport operators, but also the support rendered
by the members of the public, especially the commuters and building
occupants/tenants who were affected by the exercise. SCDF would like
to thank them for their co-operation and understanding shown during
the exercise and wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
