- 1. 1 Management of DisasterIncident By: Junmar N Omadle
- 2. 2 Objectives 1. Provide anOverview of Disaster Preparedness 2. Describe and Discuss the Preparedness Actions of Government 3. Describe and Discuss the Preparedness Actions of Individuals
- 3. 3 Disaster Preparedness “Action takenin advance of a disaster to ensure adequate response to its impacts, and the relief and recovery from its consequences.”
- 4. Session 18 4 WhoPerforms Preparedness Actions? • Emergency response agencies • Government officials • Businesses • Nongovernmental organizations • Hospitals • Individuals and families
- 5. 5 Preparedness Goals • Knowingwhat to do in the lead up to or in the aftermath of a disaster • Knowing how to do what needs to be done • Being equipped with the right tools to effectively do what needs to be done
- 6. 6 Preparedness Establishes: • Whathazards are likely to occur • What the consequences of those hazards will be • What the response requirements will be • What direct responsibilities the individual has to address those requirements • What skills, competencies, and resources are required to fulfill those responsibilities • What are the response triggers • How prepared the stakeholder actually is to perform the required actions
- 7. 7 Two Preparedness ‘Groups’ •Government – administration, emergency management, public health, and other services agencies • Public – Individuals, nongovernmental organizations, and businesses
- 8. 8 Mitigation vs. Preparedness •Mitigation: reduces hazard risk likelihood or consequences before a disaster occurs • Preparedness: Allows for enhanced response actions • Many actions and activities will fit neatly into both categories.
- 9. 9 Government Preparedness Actions • Planning •Exercise • Training • Equipment • Statutory authority
- 10. 10 Planning • Determines: – Isthe event a disaster? – Who is in control of the overall response? – Where will damage and needs information come from? – What specific actions need to be performed? – What is the logical flow of these actions? – Who is responsible for performing each action? – Where will resources come from? – What laws give authority to the actions and actors? – What outside resources can be called upon? – What procedures must be followed to request and accept these resources?
- 11. 11 Planning: The EOP •Centerpiece of government preparedness • A playbook of response actions • Built upon predictions of hazard risk • Must be flexible to allow for a range of hazards and severity (scaled up or down) • Address complex/diverse needs
- 12. 12 Planning: EOP Function •The people and agencies who will be involved in the response to hazard events (including disasters) • The responsibilities and actions of these individuals and agencies • When and where those responsibilities and actions will be called upon • How citizens and structures will be protected in the event of a disaster. • The equipment, facilities, and resources available within and outside the jurisdiction.
- 13. 13 Planning: EOP Components •A hazards risk analysis • The basic plan • Emergency function (‘Functional’) annexes • Hazard-specific annexes
- 14. 14 Planning: The BasicPlan • The Introductory Material • The Purpose • The Situation and Assumptions • The Concept of Operations • Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities • Administration and Logistics • Plan Development and Logistics • Authorities and References
- 15. 15 Planning: Functional Annexes •Provide much more highly detailed information about operational needs • Go into much greater detail about who does what • May cover any specific task or function conducted in the lead up to, response, or aftermath of a disaster
- 16. 16 Planning: Functional Annexes •Direction and control • Notification and warning • Evacuation • Communications • Public works • Public information • Fire suppression • Search and rescue • Emergency medical services and mass care • Mortuary services • Security and perimeter control • Inclusion of military resources • Transportation • Traffic control • Relief • Short- and long-term recovery • Financial management • International coordination • Volunteer management • Donations management • Vulnerable populations
- 17. 17 Planning: Hazard Annexes •Contain operational information not covered in the base plan • May stipulate risk for individual hazards, including the geographic range, the population likely to be affected, and the season or time the disaster is most likely to happen. • Special detection and warning systems, evacuation routes, risk maps, preparedness and response issues, and other topics may be included
- 18. 18 Planning: Exercise • Allowsthose involved in emergency and disaster response, as defined in the EOP, to practice their roles and responsibilities before an actual event occurs • Prepares individuals to carry out their duties • Helps find problems in the plan in non- emergency situations • Introduces individuals and agencies involved in response
- 19. 19 Planning: Exercise Types •Drill • Tabletop Exercise • Functional Exercise • Full-Scale Exercise
- 20. 20 Planning: Training • Disasterresponse officials are more effective if they are trained to do their jobs • Response officials may place their lives in unnecessary and grave danger if they are not adequately trained in the particulars of specialized response • Untrained or insufficiently trained responders add to the possibility of a secondary emergency or disaster
- 21. 21 Planning: Specialized TrainingTopics • Evacuation • Mass care • Mass fatalities management • Debris management • Flood-fighting operations • Warning coordination • Spontaneous volunteer management • Hazardous materials • Weapons of mass destruction • Cyclonic storm response • Urban and wilderness search and rescue • Radiological response • Crowd control • Response to terrorist attacks • Wildfire and wildland fire response
- 22. 22 Preparedness: Equipment • Helpsresponse agencies reduce the number of injuries and deaths and the amount of property damaged or destroyed as result of disaster events • increases the effectiveness of response agencies by protecting the life of the responders themselves • Access to equipment depends on available resources
- 23. 23 Preparedness: Equipment Types • FireSuppression • Rescue • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) • Disaster Medical Care • Public Warning and Alert Systems • Communications • Disaster Feeding • Others…
- 24. 24 Statutory Authority • Disastercharacterized by: – Expenditures of funds – Suspension of normal government and private activities – Other deviations from ‘normal’ • Statutory authorities help to ensure that all individuals and agencies involved in the emergency management system are able to carry out their duties – Ensure that EM agencies and functions are established, staffed, and funded.
- 25. 25 Public Preparedness • Indisasters, response resources are stretched to the limits of their capacity • Vast response requirements can delay the delivery of these services to many people • Individual and family preparedness are vital to increasing overall community resilience, especially in light of the limitations typically experienced by the emergency services in the outset of large-scale events
- 26. 26 Examples of PublicResponse Role • Basic search and rescue • Provision of first aid • Fire suppression • Flood fighting • Traffic control • Utility shut-off
