Coordinating Air Monitoring throughout California Shelley DuTeaux, PhD MPH, ARB John Kennedy, US EPA California Air Response Planning Alliance

California Air Response Planning Alliance (CARPA)  Ad hoc organization focused on coordinating response to major air releases and other emergencies with air quality impacts  Concept emerged after the 2003 SoCal wildfires when incident command, air quality, and public health agencies were not well coordinated  CARPA initially formed in 2006; formalized by charter in 2008

Mission Providing federal, state, tribal & local agencies with tools and information to assist in collecting, interpreting, and disseminating actionable response information to protect from the downwind impacts of accidental or deliberate releases of hazardous substances.

CARPA Model Data: Sampling, Monitoring, Modeling, Lab, Data Management Data to Message: Analysis, Health protective actions Message to Audience: Health Advisories, PIO/JIC functions, Rumor control

Structure Steering Committee Subcommittees Data Subcommittee - analytical aspects of airborne releases including emergency air monitoring, sampling, modeling, meteorology, and data management. Data to Message Subcommittee - developing, standardizing, and applying public health guidance for making rapid decisions about health and safety. Message to Audience Subcommittee - training and tools for messaging and emergency communication during an airborne release.

Member Agencies

Functions ► Technical support & subject matter experts ► Best practices for air release response ► Effective communication, outreach, and public messaging strategies ► Not an operation entity (although each member agency can activate under its own authorities)

Multi-Agency Coordination  Monitoring objectives (Differs by agency and jurisdiction)  Sharing resources (district, state, federal)  Jurisdictional Limitations

To Help Answer the Big Questions How long will we be evacuated Is it safe to go home What’s in the smoke Can we re-open the school How can I protect my family Actionable Data

Sampling & Monitoring Objectives How long will you monitor? What concentrations are you looking for? Background? Are you prepared to make protective health actions based on the data? Can you switch from regulatory roles to emergency response? Are your instruments sensitive enough? Do you have a communication plan in place?
