The Fall 2023 Statewide AUXCOMM Exercise was held October 14, with a focus on PACE planning. A few facts about the exercise:
- Over 400 volunteers and agency personnel participated, including 72 from outside the AUXCOMM community.
- 57 of the volunteers were new or were returning after 3 or more years’ absence.
- 22 counties submitted reports.
- All 7 districts were represented.
Overall, the exercise was well received. A couple of deltas noted are that:
- Some counties still need help obtaining access to MI CIMS.
- Some counties need assistance with learning to use Winlink forms. A few sent their message as a plain text message, and one sent a fillable PDF.
- A number of counties posted their PACE plans online as directed, but they did not check the box to mark them as external. This restricted access to only their county.
