New York's Leadership in Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response

On behalf of all New Yorkers, I am pleased to
welcome many of our state’s first responders and
some of the world’s leading experts in public safety
to this important conference. You will hear from
individuals who have dealt with some of the most
devastating disasters and emergency situations in
recent history. The Conference will address current
risks and help us develop practical strategies for
planning, response and recovery, so that our state can use our resources to
respond more effectively and better protect our residents.
Since taking office, my administration’s top priority has been to make
government work for the people of New York State. Government’s highest
concern is public safety, which requires an emergency management
system that can put into motion a rapid and effective response when
disaster strikes.
During Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, we learned that we
must anticipate and be well prepared for all emergencies. This inaugural
conference builds on the progress we have already made toward our goal
of establishing the best emergency management system in the nation.
To effectively marshal our resources in emergency situations when disaster
strikes, we launched five Regional Disaster Logistics Centers to serve
as staging areas. To create a statewide network of first responders who
are prepared for anything at any time, we established Regional Rapid
Response and Incident Management Assistance Teams to expedite
deployment and coordinate with local governments. And to help ensure
the most efficient deployment of all of our combined resources, we created
a new, streamlined network among state agencies to coordinate disaster
response equipment so the right equipment is in the right place at the right
time.
We are committed to putting New York State at the forefront of emergency
preparedness, which will make us a model for other states, and help us
fulfill our highest mission—protecting the public’s safety.
- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
Making New York State the Leader in
Preparedness, Planning and Knowledge

Statement from Jerome M. Hauer
Dear Colleague:
Welcome to the 2012 Governor’s Conference on
Emergency Preparedness.
We come together for the next two days to discuss
important topics that matter to all of us – disaster
planning, personal preparedness, and improving the
way we confront various challenges and potential threats
across the state.
It’s a new day for emergency management and disaster preparedness in
New York State as we evolve from an “all-hazards” approach to “catastrophic”
planning and I am proud to say that New York is leading the nation on this
initiative. Instead of looking at each disaster individually, we are now looking
at worst-case scenarios. We are turning away from the three-day approach to
personal preparedness, and investing in a safer, better approach that encourages
seven-to-ten day preparedness measures. Considering the many different types
and scopes of threats we face including dangers from weather, terrorism and
cyber security – it is safe to say that New York State and its citizens cannot be
“too” prepared for a catastrophic disaster.
This inaugural conference offers us the opportunity to explore these and other
complex issues and concerns, such as climate change, disaster-related trauma,
chemical suicides, and risk communication. We’ll hear from those who have
faced and explored some of the most dangerous threats, both domestic and
abroad, from responders to managers to news media professionals. We will
discuss what needs to be done to address emerging threats and issues, and
we will have the chance to apply what we learn from this conference in our own
communities.
My hope is that when this conference has ended, you will take away greater
knowledge, stronger partnerships, and a sense of pride in knowing that New York
State, under the leadership of Governor Andrew Cuomo, is leading the way –
both nationally and globally – in disaster preparedness.
I look forward to working with you to help protect the lives and property of our
fellow citizens.
Sincerely,
Jerome M. Hauer
Commissioner, DHSES

The History of Disasters in New York
New York State has a diverse
risk profile and as a result,
must be prepared for a variety
of threats. From 1956 through
the present, all but five of the
disasters or emergencies that
were declared major disasters
or emergencies have been
the result of damages from
severe floods, hurricanes,
coastal storms, and severe
winter storms. The five disaster
declarations that do not fall into
those categories are: the Love
Canal Environmental Disaster,
the Long Island Wildfires in 1995, the terrorist attacks affecting the World
Trade Center, and the April 2002 Earthquake.
The Sunrise Fires
In late August-early September 1995, a
series of major brush fires swept through
the Pine Barrens region of Long Island.
The fire, aided by high winds and dry
conditions, quickly spread, threatening
area homes and businesses. The fire
was nicknamed the “Sunrise Wildfire,”
as it engulfed both sides of Sunrise
Highway, the major highway connecting
the Hamptons region with the rest of
Long Island. The fires closed down the
highway and stopped railroad service,
effectively cutting the Hamptons off
from the rest of the island for days as
firefighters from all over Long Island and
the FDNY worked around the clock to battle the blaze. It took more than 2
weeks to extinguish the fires but the results were disastrous: approximately
7,000 acres had burned, numerous homes and small businesses suffered
damage, and 400 people were forced to evacuate their homes. Fortunately no
lives were lost though several firefighters suffered minor injuries.

Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee
The most expensive natural disaster to hit
New York State and the most costly since
the events of September 11, 2001, these two
weather events hit New York in a “one- two
punch”. These storms resulted in 9 confirmed
fatalities, over 390,000 ordered evacuations,
1,065,000 power outages and significant
damage to the state’s infrastructure. The
storm affected 380 counties and led to
ever $1.5 billion in FEMA assistance. The
recovery to these storms continues in earnest
today and will for many months and years to
come.
The Terrorist Attacks on the World Trade Centers
On February 26, 1993, international terrorism arrived
on American soil when a group of terrorists drove a van
loaded with a 1,500 pound urea-nitrate bomb into an
underground garage of the North Tower. The explosion that
followed killed 6 people and injured over one thousand.
This bombing proved to a deadly rehearsal for the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001 which resulted in the loss of
thousands of civilians and hundreds of first responders in
the most deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil. While the cost
to rebuild and protect New York as a result of this disaster
reached into the billions.
The Ice Storm of 1998
A devastating ice storm struck Northern New York
during January 1998 and produced over three inches
of ice in the region. Power lines and transmission
towers failed under the weight of the ice, with the entire
regional power infrastructure suffering severe damages.
Many communities were without power for more than 30
days. President Clinton declared five counties in New
York a Federal Disaster in what was the most expensive
disaster in New York History until Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee. The ice coated all outdoor surfaces,
toppling trees, collapsing outdoor structures, and
threatening the lives of a large, distributed population.
Without power, farmers were unable to feed and water livestock and cattle and as
a result, New York’s farm industry was severely impacted.

Governor’s Initiative for Emergency Response
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has
launched a series of major initiatives
to transform New York State’s
disaster and emergency response
capabilities.
Regional Disaster Logistics
Centers
DHSES will work with state
agencies, the National Guard, and
localities to put in place five Disaster
Logistics Centers in key regional
locations across the New York
State. When completed, the state
will have a total of five regionally located stockpile and staging areas that can be
used to store emergency equipment and rescue vehicles, and provide expedited
assistance to local governments during emergencies. The Disaster Logistics
Centers will ensure that the state has resources and equipment pre-positioned
in areas where they would be most needed during an emergency. The Centers
will be located in the North Country, Western New York, Hudson Valley, Southern
Tier, and Long Island. The Regional Disaster Logistics Centers will ensure that
the right vehicles and equipment are in the right place to respond rapidly to
an emergency situation. Vehicles will be regionally positioned so they can be
deployed immediately. The centers will also have pre-positioned equipment
and supplies, including generators, pumps, water filters, specialized rescue
equipment, communications equipment, and personal care items such as food,
water, cots and blankets.
Establish Regional Rapid Response and
Incident Management Teams
Regional Rapid Response Teams
DHSES will organize Rapid Response Support Teams (RRSTs) that will align
with the new response areas to promptly deploy in emergency situations
and coordinate state support with local governments. The RRSTs will be co-
led by State Commissioners that have been specially trained in emergency
management and State Office of Emergency Management regional directors.
The teams will also include representatives from the State Office of Emergency
Management, State Police, National Guard, and other agencies.
Incident Management Teams
DHSES will create additional regionally-based Incident Management Teams
(IMTs) comprised of local public safety and first response personnel who have
received specialized training to support localities and provide expertise during
emergency situations. New York currently has one state-level and two locally-
based IMTs, each of which was instrumental in supporting disaster operations in
heavily flooded counties during the late summer storms of 2011.

First Responder Statewide Credentialing System
Our new credentialing program will ensure that
State and local governments have visibility and
access to trained public safety personnel whose
identification and qualifications have been
verified and documented by a standardized
statewide identification card system.
A standardized ID card or credential will
be provided for each fire, EMS and law
enforcement responder. The card will serve
to visually document the minimum basic
qualifications possessed by a responder and
will include a barcode or other electronically
readable feature allowing rapid verification or
transfer of qualification information. The card will
include basic identification information including
name, photo, and expiration date in addition to
the qualifications possessed by that responder.
A database will be developed to document the qualifications possessed by all
fire, EMS and law enforcement responders. And a secure web portal will be
developed to allow access to the qualification database for verifying qualifications
possessed by a responder when an ID card is issued by an authorized agency.
Agencies will be able to verify qualifications as needed during an incident or to
generate an incident specific ID card in response to an enhanced credentialing or
identification security need.
Initial contacts and program development discussions are underway and DHSES
plans to begin to integrate this program into select disciplines beginning in 2013.

7:20 a.m. - 8:20 a.m. Governor Cuomo invites you to special tours of the
newly renovated New York State Capitol
Tours will begin at the New York State Capital, on the State Street Side. Albany,
NY
Description: The Capital is a stunning and beautiful example of 19th century ar
chitecture. The Capitol was initially designed by Englishman Thomas Fuller, who
also designed the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Canada. However, the Capitol
that Fuller envisioned was never completed. In 1876, Fuller was replaced by two
prominent American architects, Leopold Eidlitz and Henry Hobson Richardson.
Spanning four decades, the finished Capitol took 32 years to build, from 1867 to
1899. The final cost was a staggering $25 million dollars. Today, that same struc
ture would cost a half billion dollars to build.
The New York State Executive Mansion is located on Eagle Street in downtown
Albany. Since 1875, this house has been home to New York’s governors and
their families. It is a house that is eclectic in style, filled with history and rich with
tradition. It remains a fitting symbol of the variety and greatness of the Empire
State.

preparedness.
2. An Emerging Menace: Planning for Active Shooter Threats
Presenters:
Samuel Mayhugh, PhD, Behavioral Specialist
Jonathan Richeson, Security Specialist, Department of Homeland Security.
Moderator: Kevin Gagan, New York State Police, First Deputy Superintendent
Description: Active shooter incidents continue to occur across our nation,
and serve as a reminder of today’s ever-changing threat environment and the
challenges we face. An active shooter incident can unfold quickly, requiring a
multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional response from the public safety community.
This seminar will focus on the behavioral aspect of the active shooter scenario.
Common behavior, conditions and situations associated with active shooters
will be discussed, as will the importance of fostering communication before an
incident occurs. The session will also discuss important options for consideration
such as having escape routes and plans when inside or attending an outdoor
event.
3. Catastrophic Planning
Presenters:
Clifford Oliver, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Maryland’s University
College Fire Science, Homeland Security and Emergency Management Program
Joseph Bruno, Commissioner, New York City Office of Emergency Management
John Farrell, Director, Greene County (NY) Emergency Management
Description: Because of limited staffing and resources, all-hazards planning
efforts lack depth during large, complex disasters. The threat of terrorism, as
well as global climate change and the location of human population centers, will
continue to occur at an ever-increasing rate and scale. Standard emergency
planning practices have been shown to be insufficient to address such events. It
is essential that we shift our thinking on how to effectively manage the complexity
of catastrophic disasters. This workshop will include practical experience
of emergency managers that have been involved in catastrophic planning

15
and complex events. Mr. Oliver will provide an overview of the key tenets of
catastrophic planning.
4. Managing Trauma: The Hidden Disaster
Presenters:
Ann Norwood, MD. Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences (USUHS).
Robert Ursano, MD. Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience and Chairman of
the Department of Psychiatry at the Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland.
James Halpern, PhD. Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute for
Disaster Mental Health SUNY New Paltz
Moderator: Michael Hogan, PhD, Commissioner, New York State Office of Mental
Health
Description: The impacts of disaster and emergencies extend beyond the
immediate damages and injuries that happen during or immediately following
an incident. Emergency responders and survivors must cope with trauma and
grief. Emotional impacts related to disaster-related trauma, if not recognized and
treated, may have long-term consequences that affect survivors’ physical and
emotional health, job performance, and relationships. This workshop will feature
a panel of nationally-renowned clinicians that will explore the effects of trauma
and the strategies that individuals and organization can employ to mitigate these
effects.
5. Chemical Casualties: The Rise of Chemical Suicide
Presenter: Jacob Oreshan, Deputy Chief, New York State Office of Fire
Prevention and Control
Moderator: William R. Davis Jr., Deputy State Fire Administrator, New York State
Office of Fire Prevention and Control
Description: Chemical suicides have plagued the United States since 2008 and
continue to be on the rise. This method of suicide originated in Japan in 2007,
where they have seen more than 2,000 cases. Chemical suicide, or detergent
suicide, involves mixing common household chemicals to create deadly hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) gas, which is lethal in contained areas. These incidents also pose
a threat of acute injury to first responders who are called to these incidents.
This workshop will explain this emerging threat, discuss health effects, explain
methods for detection, use of personal protective equipment for responders, and
treatment.
