6. The Challenge to Governments Serve Serve – Provide services to its citizens (police and fire services, licenses and permits, health services, etc) – Keep essential services running during an emergency, and restore full services afterward and Protect and Protect – Protect citizens and property from full range of disasters – Provide emergency response and recovery when necessary

7. The Threat 7 The American public is acutely aware of catastrophic risk facing them today The American public is acutely aware of catastrophic risk facing them today Consider the daily headlines: Consider the daily headlines: – The lingering devastation of Katrina – Coastal vulnerability to surge and tsunami – Earthquake predictions – Nuclear and chemical plant and transportation accidents – Bird flu and H1N1 pandemic – Increasing threat of terrorism

8. Emergency Mgmt Framework Foundational Principle: Foundational Principle: Local jurisdictions have primary responsibility If jurisdictional resources are overwhelmed, State provides support If jurisdictional resources are overwhelmed, State provides support If State resources are overwhelmed, the Governor must request federal assistance If State resources are overwhelmed, the Governor must request federal assistance Incidents of National Significance: Federal authorities can take control Incidents of National Significance: Federal authorities can take control

13. The Emergency Management System: NIMS It all starts with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) – Comprehensive, top-to-bottom system for incident management – All-hazards approach – Incident Command System (ICS) – Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) – Improve coordination between public and private entities

14. The Incident Command System (ICS) On-site incident management On-site incident management Specific operational structure Specific operational structure Precise terminology Precise terminology Accommodates multi-jurisdictional operations (joint operations) Accommodates multi-jurisdictional operations (joint operations) Management by Objectives Management by Objectives Clear chain of command Clear chain of command

15. Basic ICS Structure Unified Command Incident Commander Operations Section Planning Section Logistics Section Finance/Admin Section Command Staff Information Officer Safety Officer Liaison Officer Multiagency Coordination System Support Command and Control

16. Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) System for supporting incident management System for supporting incident management Resource prioritization and assignment Resource prioritization and assignment Local, regional, state, federal, and private sector integration Local, regional, state, federal, and private sector integration – You provide strategic direction, expertise and resources from the MACS – You respond to the incident within the ICS

17. MACS Structures Less formal than ICS Less formal than ICS Jurisdictions can adopt whatever framework that works for them Jurisdictions can adopt whatever framework that works for them Most common structure uses Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) Most common structure uses Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) Basic entity is the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Basic entity is the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)

18. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) The heart of a jurisdiction’s emergency operations direction and support of large or complex emergencies The heart of a jurisdiction’s emergency operations direction and support of large or complex emergencies Most emergencies are handled within the first response agency that takes the call (police, fire, EMS) Most emergencies are handled within the first response agency that takes the call (police, fire, EMS) – They usually have their own Department Emergency Operations Centers (DEOCs)

National Response Framework The Federal response plan The Federal response plan – Built upon an ESF structure Unified national response, to include the private sector Unified national response, to include the private sector Complements the NIMS incident management framework Complements the NIMS incident management framework

25. National Preparedness Guidelines (NPG) Federal risk assessment and management planning Federal risk assessment and management planning 15 national planning scenarios 15 national planning scenarios Put resources against high-value, high consequence events Put resources against high-value, high consequence events Target the development of the most useful capabilities for prevention and response Target the development of the most useful capabilities for prevention and response – States, communities, and private sector

26. The Emergency Management Cycle Readiness Preparedness.. Response.. Rebuilding

27. Four Phases of Emergency Management Preparedness/Prevention Preparedness/Prevention – Building, sustaining, and improving operational capability and resilience – Avoiding or stopping an incident before it occurs Mitigation Mitigation – Reducing or eliminating risks or their impact Response Response – Immediate actions (including damage assessment and critical infrastructure recovery) Recovery Recovery – Service and site restoration (public and private sectors) – Economic and community viability
