CRC SimPLER helps radiation emergency planners understand their current capacity, potential bottlenecks, and additional resource needs when planning for population monitoring during response to a radiation emergency. It focuses on typical or anticipated activities that are needed to conduct population monitoring, which include but are not limited to providing services such as: basic first aid, contamination screening, decontamination, registration, and mental health counseling. This program helps planners assess their current population monitoring capacity and plan for potential needs in a way that is simple to understand, quick to interpret, and can be taken or presented to decision makers if/when they need to ask for additional resources. This software can also be used as a training tool for locations that are beginning to form population monitoring plans and those who have not yet conducted CRC full-scale exercises. CRC SimPLER was developed using modelling software and incorporates real timing data collected from CRC exercises across the country.

There are some local health departments (LHDs) that are getting requests for help with obtaining COVID testing supplies. Below is a list of entities that MDHHS supports directly:
• Long Term Care Facilities (LTCF)
• Intermediate School Districts (ISDs)
• School Districts
• Non-public schools
• Psychiatric Hospitals
• Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC)
• Jails
• Juvenile Justice Facilities
• Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)

• Shelters (homeless and Domestic Violence)
If these organizations request emergency supplies from LHDs we ask that you fulfill the immediate need and then ask the organizations to contact MDHHS at the MDHHS-COVIDTestingSupport@michigan.gov email address so that the department can ensure their longer-term needs are met and to reserve LHD supplies for critical situations and rapid response to outbreaks. If you have any questions contact the CHECC at checcdeptcoor@michigan.gov.
