Emergency Ops Meeting Agenda
When disaster strikes, a volunteer group of five dysfunctional civil servants are forced to put aside their differences and work together, for the good of their community. Things couldn't possibly get any worse, right?

The First Call List
Alex
Liaison Officer
Rude and irritable, Alex is the local chief financial officer and accountant for the municipality. Alex knows every detail of the emergency management handbook, and expects you to know it, too. If only Alex was the one in charge.
Kelly
Logistics Chief
A nervous ball of stress and anxiety, Kelly works in Human Resources, and doesn't perform well under pressure. It's a good thing Kelly has a good heart.
Jamie
Operations Chief
Naive and inexperienced, Jamie works in Wastewater and has never worked in emergency management before, but Jamie sure is excited to start training next month! If only someone could train Jamie.
Hunter
Planning Chief
Aloof and antagonistic, Hunter does not want to be here. In fact, Hunter would rather be literally anywhere other than here, and Hunter will let you know it. If only anyone else would answer their phone.
Morgan
OC Director
Uptight and impatient, Morgan is more interested in ensuring the Mayor's re-election campaign goes off without a hitch, and if there is anything that can be done to wrap this disaster up Morgan is willing to do it. If only things didn't keep getting worse.
Hayden Maines
The Playwright
Hayden is a local playwright, performer, and director who has worked with a handful of local theatre companies such as Shoestring Players, Winnipeg Mennonite Theatre, Interesting Theatre, and Dark Horse Theatres.
Mission Statement
(Alex, can you draft some statement for me to put in here? Thanks -Morgan)
Public Service Announcement
From 2019 to March of this year, I worked for the federal government in the Public Health Agency of Canada. During the Coronavirus Pandemic, I sepnt some time as the Logistics Chief in the government's Emergency Operations Centre for Covid response, and during my training for the role, I thought that the environment would work perfectly for a workplace sitcom in the style of The Office, The Thick Of It, or Parks and Recreation. A couple years later this script was born, which I am excited to share with you all at the Fringe. I've done my best to keep the terminology and functions of an actual operations centre as accurate as possible, without requiring the audience be infinitely familiar with the day-to-day operations in an EOC. If you've ever worked a job with an annoying coworker before, you should find something to laugh at here!
