Project Phoenix


Project Phoenix

IONTB

May 7, 2017The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, along with their partners from government, business, and social services communities, is developing a plan to identify and address the multitude of issues that would arise should a catastrophic event occur in the Tampa Bay area. For this plan, the Tampa Bay area is defined as the following counties: 

Citrus 
Hardee 
Hernando 
Hillsborough 
Manatee 
Pasco 
Pinellas 
Polk 
Sumter 

Hurricane Phoenix is a fictitious storm created to simulate the effects of a worst‐case scenario. With input from Tampa Bay area emergency management agencies and the local office of the National Weather Service (NWS), a simulated storm was developed with a track and intensity that would devastate the entire Tampa Bay region. The NWS generated National Hurricane Center advisories, local hurricane statements, and data files that simulate the hurricane’s location and intensity from its formation in the Caribbean Sea, through landfall in Pinellas County, to the hurricane’s exit from the east coast of Florida into the Atlantic Ocean. The maps and information presented in this packet are based upon the data files developed for this simulated storm. The simulated parameters of Hurricane Phoenix were input into HAZUS‐MH, the risk assessment tool that uses the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standard methodology to measure the effects of real and simulated hazard events like hurricane winds and flooding. As one might expect, a storm of the size and strength of Hurricane Phoenix would create almost unthinkable damage to the area’s homes, businesses, infrastructure, overall economy, and social systems that are currently in place. The goal of this planning process is to develop strategies that will help the Tampa Bay region to recover and rebuild after such a devastating catastrophe.

SPARS Pandemic Scenario


SPARS Pandemic Scenario


This is a training exercise, based on a fictional scenario. It is a teaching and training resource for public health and government officials so that they can practice responses and better protect the public’s health. Read more.


Focus area:

Emerging Infectious Diseases and Epidemics


SPARS Pandemic scenario book (PDF)


The Center’s SPARS Pandemic exercise narrative comprises a futuristic scenario that illustrates communication dilemmas concerning medical countermeasures (MCMs) that could plausibly emerge in the not-so-distant future. Its purpose is to prompt users, both individually and in discussion with others, to imagine the dynamic and oftentimes conflicted circumstances in which communication around emergency MCM development, distribution, and uptake takes place. While engaged with a rigorous simulated health emergency, scenario readers have the opportunity to mentally “rehearse” responses while also weighing the implications of their actions. At the same time, readers have a chance to consider what potential measures implemented in today’s environment might avert comparable communication dilemmas or classes of dilemmas in the future.

The self-guided exercise scenario for public health communicators and risk communication researchers covers a raft of themes and associated dilemmas in risk communications, rumor control, interagency message coordination and consistency, issue management, proactive and reactive media relations, cultural competency, and ethical concerns. To ensure that the scenario accounts for rapid technological innovation and exceeds the expectations of participants, the Center’s project team gleaned information from subject matter experts, historical accounts of past medical countermeasure crises, contemporary media reports, and scholarly literature in sociology, emergency preparedness, health education, and risk and crisis communication.

The scenario is hypothetical; the infectious pathogen, medical countermeasures, characters, news media excerpts, social media posts, and government agency responses are entirely fictional.

Project team: Matthew Shearer, MPH; Emily Brunson, PhD, associate professor of anthropology at Texas State University; Sanjana Ravi, MPH; Tara Kirk Sell, PhD, MA; Gigi Kwik Gronvall, PhD; Hannah Chandler, former research assistant at the Center

Date completed: October 2017
