Coyote Crisis Collaborative (CCC) is a crisis response campaign designed to test healthcare systems, corporations, academic institutions, government organizations, and the military in emergency crisis response — locally, regionally, and nationally.
These entities share a philosophy about disaster readiness:
- Working together on a regular basis, relationships will be forged. In the event of a disaster, the familiarity and common understanding will help the organizations avoid experimentation on the worst possible day.
- There is a need to build and test infrastructures, chains of command, communication systems, surge capacities, and rapid response mechanisms.
- Merging the expertise and resources of organizations is a massive and intense undertaking. Yet the endeavor is vital to generating a seamless process for responding to man-made and natural disasters.
CCC offers an exceptional opportunity for improving disaster response through planning and learning process. The resulting week of events tests the disaster objectives, plans, and relationships.
Partnership Goals
CCC partners have certain objectives that provide the foundation for their work together:
- Provide a community service benefit by inviting broad participation in an event supporting disaster/crisis/emergency response training;
- Leverage community, government, military and other public resources for disaster management coordination through multi-jurisdictional interoperability;
- Demonstrate effective communication through coordination of CCC Stakeholders’ individual communication efforts and exercising coordination and dissemination of public information to the region; and
- Align CCC exercise design phase and execution with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) protocols and test local, tribal, county, state, and federal response plans.
Military Training
Prior to and after Coyote Week, military training and rotations are offered by Scottsdale Healthcare, in conjunction with Maricopa Integrated Health System. Trauma, burn, pediatric trauma, behavioral health, EMS ride-alongs, air evacuation, and more opportunities are offered. Trainees gain hands-on experience with battlefield types of injuries.
