Philip,

That's a very interesting drill. I have never heard of a CERT team used in this way before. Actually, just to double-check your meaning, the door hangars were meant to simulate CERT members actually leaving Cipro on everyone's front door? Or did the door hangars just direct people to a central distribution point? I ask because one problem with centralized distribution is sometimes it creates more risk by having all these people (in this case, maybe contaminated with anthrax spores) coming together and waiting in line for things. In contrast, seems like you never hear about plans to widely distribute things, like medications, door-to-door like this, which is why I think it's an interesting drill.
