Presentation at the 2014 Disaster Preparedness Academy. We’ve all witnessed the power and immediacy of social
media in emergency response and influencing world
events. It is imperative that organizations have a social
media strategy in place for emergencies. This workshop will
discuss why social media is viewed as a critical element
in crisis response using real-world examples such as
Superstorm Sandy and the Boston Marathon. Participants
will learn about common social platforms, and how they can
be incorporated into disaster planning. Tools, resources and techniques will be shared that will help organizations build an online presence now that will play a vital role when the next disaster occurs.
Social media is part of everyday life, and emergency management is no exception. However, many agencies do not have the manpower to effectively leverage the social media space during and after a disaster. Virtual Operation Support Teams (VOST), as applied to emergency management and disaster recovery, is an agency assembled team whose effort makes use of new communication technologies and social media tools. These team members are "trusted agents" who can lend support via the internet to those on-site who may otherwise be overwhelmed by the volume of data generated during a disaster. These cadre of digital volunteers assist with several social media missions including: general monitoring, rumor identification and management, situation status visualization and so much more.

12. What will Improved Resilience Do for a
Community?
• Transform daily community function to:
– Be competitive – nationally and globally
– Be action-oriented not reactionary
– Create a local culture of resilience
• In a crisis:
– Minimize disruption

community resilience means
• A way to measure where the
community stands on a scale
of resilience
• Tools and processes that help
the community reach a more
resilient state; and
• Tangible rewards for their
efforts
The CRS helps communities systematically and continuously make
resilience improvements that can enhance daily function and make
recovery more rapid and more certain

– What community resilience is
– What makes communities more resilient
– Tools to help communities assess their resilience
– Resources to help communities take action to become more resilient
• A process for helping communities use the knowledge base to
become more resilient
• A web-based set of tools and resources to make the process and
knowledge base available to a wide array of communities
– Flexible and Simple, easy to move around
– Web accessible (not downloaded)
– Guided and Direct Navigation
• A SIMPLE way to find information
• Help, email, collaboration area, and support features
available on every page

20. Why should Business Care about
Community Resilience?
Who controls how your business will
fare if….
• …a major supplier goes out of business?
• …you have to activate your BCP? Have you
discussed its bases with those outside your
company you rely on?
• …the retail district on State College was
disrupted; how would your business be
affected?
• …the local tourist industry were affected as
a result of a labor strike? How would your
business be affected?
Unless both sides work together,
• …a terrorist incident with a dirty bomb nobody’s moving forward!
affects local tourism?
• …the supply chain for your local grocery
stores or your company’s goods and
services was shut down? How would your
Why Community Resilience is Good Business
20
business or neighborhood compensate?
21. Issues for Recovery
• Post-disaster, small businesses face limited:
– Timely access to capital
– Constrained workforce options
– Poor access to Technical
assistance resources
– Inadequate Insurance options
– Diminished or displaced
Customer base
• Assumption that there are
significant federal resources to help with business recovery
• Greater burden on local level for disasters with non-
Presidential disaster declarations
Why Community Resilience is Good Business
21
22. Business Resilience
• Communities that prepare to Actions taken by
recover as deliberately as they Community to
Actions taken prepare to respond, recover strengthen
by Local much more rapidly and general economic
Businesses effectively recovery
• Business preparedness alone
does not guarantee successful
recovery following a disaster
• Where the business sector is
involved and engaged with
government in preparedness,
mitigation, risk management,
and recovery planning before a
disaster, recovery is more
effective
Like the pushme-pullyou, BOTH are
necessary for business recovery
and resilience
Why Community Resilience is Good Business
22
23. Resilient Business Practices
• Recognizes the inherent connection between the
success of their business and the resilience of
the larger community
• Plans ahead and take advantage of the resources
to help with business continuity and recovery
• Understands and manages its business
dependencies and interdependencies (e.g., you
can’t re-open if your suppliers are wiped out or your
employees can’t return due to lack of housing or
childcare)
• Works with community partners to identify post-
disaster sources of capital before the crisis
• Has a CRISIS communication plan for
employees AND customers
• Plans appropriate balance of insurance,
financing, and government aid to support
business recovery and resumption and understands
option before crisis
• Understands and manages risks

Cost of Loss to your Infrastructure
•Repair/replace Damaged Public and
Business AND your Private Buildings
•Loss of Direct Business and Economic
Community Activity
•Health and Medical costs
•Emergency Management services

51. Preparedness Myths:
• If something happens - all I
have to do is call 911
• My insurance policy will take
care of everything
• Good preparedness is too
expensive and complicated
52. Preparedness Myths:
• Nothing like that could ever
happen here
• All I need is a 72-hour kit with
a flashlight, first aid kit, some
food and water, and a radio
53. Why should I prepare my business?
• To protect my employees
• Minimize disruption
• Rapid recovery
• Reduce reliance on local,
State and/or Federal
resources
• Government relies on your
business
54. The Importance of Networking
• CalEMA recognizes the need for communication,
coordination and cooperation among all emergency
management stakeholders in California. Recent disasters
have underscored the critical need for the organized
synchronized exchange of information and resources
between public and private sector organizations in
mitigating against, preparing for, responding to, and
recovering from - disaster events. Information and resource
sharing activities between the public and private sectors
often take place in an ad hoc, isolated, and reactive fashion,
resulting in less than optimal assistance to individuals,
families, communities, and the economy.
55. Benefits of partnerships
• Continuity of community
• Enhanced situational awareness
• Increased information flow
• Improved private sector support
• Development of close partnerships
• Relationships before disasters
56. So, where do I begin?
• Planning
– Gather information about hazards and
assess risks within your business
– Conduct a business impact analysis
(BIA) (FEMA Ready.gov)
– Examine ways to prevent hazards and
reduce risks (if its predictable, it’s
preventable)
57. Where to begin?
• Implementation
Write a preparedness plan addressing:
– Resource management
– Emergency response
– Crisis communications
– Business continuity
– Information technology
– Employee assistance
– Incident management
– Training & Exercises

63. Overview
• Why Plan?
• Business Resilience Basics
– Response Standards
– The Emergency Management Cycle
– Keys to Success
64. Reasons Why to Plan
• “XX% of businesses that fail to
plan/prepare cease to be viable after
disasters”
• Strong organizational support can be an
employee retention factor
• Strong organizational support can be a
factor in awarding contracts for business
• Failure to plan can negatively impact your
image
65. Reasons Why to Plan
• People assume things will return to normal
soon
It’s the right thing to do
66. Planning Excuses
• “The (insert responding agency) will take
care of me”
• “I’ll figure it out on the fly”
• “We don’t have enough (insert resource
here)”
• “It’s too complicated”
• “people at work don’t care…”
• “I don’t have help”
67. The Good News….
• Be prepared for people to resist you
• Help- its out there!
• Plagiarize!
• Your local Emergency Manager wants
your help
• Marathon Runner vs. Sprinter
• Your employees and clients want you to
succeed
68. Where to begin?
• Learn ICS, SEMS, and NIMS
– Incident Command System
– Standardized Emergency Management
System
– National Incident Management System
• Understand what are your Goals?
– Life Safety
– Protect the business / property / financial
interests
69. Mitigation

Response
Management Life Cycle
• Mitigation- to reduce, lessen, or decrease
• Preparedness- the state of having been
made ready for action
• Response- provision of assistance or
intervention during or immediately after a
disaster
• Recovery- get back to the original state
70. Mitigation
Preparedness
•Planning / Plan Writing
•Training
•Drills and Exercises
•Evaluation
Response
Recovery
71. Mitigation
Where to begin?
• Hazard Assessments
– Look beyond your physical layout
– Rank frequency vs. severity
– Consider
• Man Made Hazards- hazardous materials,
transportation corridors, airports, possible terrorism
targets, utility supply routes, etc.
• Natural Hazards- storms, flooding, extreme heat,
earthquakes, etc.
– Use this matrix to develop your priorities

86. Mitigation
Where to begin?
• Once you understand your hazards, try to
mitigate their impacts on your operation
– Seismic equipment, better drainage, improved
fire sprinkler systems, building security
systems, etc.
– Utility / IT redundancies**
– Back up equipment
• Rarely can you mitigate away the hazards
87. Preparedness
• Strong business resilience efforts benefit
your organization by:
– Ultimately saving lives and reduce property
damage
– Streamline your response phase and make it
less chaotic
– Improve your chances of a successful
recovery and return to business
88. Preparedness
• Preparedness efforts take the most time
as they are divided into the following
areas:
– Planning and plan writing
– Training / equipping
– Drills and exercises
– Evaluation
89. Preparedness
Plan Writing
• Plans are a written reference on how you
will respond, under certain circumstances
– Overarching Emergency Management Plan
– Supporting “incident specific” annexes
– Goal specific
• Solicit help from your departments to
create buy in and ownership
• Avoid specific names / contact numbers
Use positions and titles instead
90. Preparedness
Training
• Classroom / Computer Based Training
• Instill the knowledge first, and ensure
competency in the knowledge base
• Seek out gaps, and fill those gaps
• Make sure your training addresses the
scope of limitations of your response
91. Preparedness
Drills and Exercises
• “the plan looked good on paper!?!?!”
– Discussions
– Table tops (directed or pressured)
– Drills
– Exercises
• Create an environment of trust
– Learning is key
– No fault situations
– “test the plans and the procedures, not the
people”
92.
93. Preparedness
Evaluation
• Evaluate everything!
– Formal vs. informal evaluation
• Honesty in evaluation
• Lessons learned and improvements
should be incorporated into the written
plan revision
• When able, seek external evaluation for an
objective, impartial vantage point
94. Response
Response
Response
• Something bad has happened- time to
enact your plan
– Don’t expect a textbook response
• Attempt to get ahead of the incident
• You set the pace of the response
• Remember- objectives based response
95. Recovery
Recovery Phase or
Business Continuity
• Also requires time and effort up front
• Think “normal business operations triage”
• Your organization may be ready to
function, but the community may still be
having difficulty
96. Keys to Business Resiliency
Success
• Senior Executive support through to the
front line employee
• Build a culture
• Financial- what do you want to do/be after
the disaster?
• Learn to communicate on different levels
