Crisis & Emergency Management

ProgramTy Davisson, CEM, CBCP, MEP

Emergency Management

• Umbrella Term – Captures wide range-people & organizations.

• Addresses Question: What do we do about hazards and disasters that could impact our organization?

• Comprehensive in its scope:

o All Hazards – Natural and Human-causedo All Phases – Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, Recoveryo All Actors – Employees, Suppliers, Departments, Vendors,

Governmental Agencies, Private Sector, Volunteer Organizations, General Public

What is Emergency Management?

First Things First


Why is Emergency Management Important?

Future prospects are sobering!

• Continued U.S. population growth

• Increased urbanization and concentration in hazard-prone coastal areas

• Accelerated deterioration of the urban infrastructure

• Emerging but unknown new vulnerabilities posed by technological advance

Outlook

Virtually a certainty that economic losses from natural hazards will

continue to rise throughout the early part of this century.


Disasters are increasingly Common

Worldwide, a major disaster occurs almost daily.

“In the United States, a disaster has occurred, on average, every week for the past 10 years, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency”

(PricewaterhouseCoopers, Closing the Seams, 2007, p. 6)

Comprehensive Emergency Management

All “Phases”


MitigationMitigation is the

effort to reduce loss of life and property

by lessening the impact of disasters. Mitigation is taking

action before the next disaster to

reduce human and financial

consequences after (analyzing risk, reducing risk,

insuring against risk).

• Storm Shelters• Sprinkler Systems• Building Codes / Standards• Insurance

Examples


PreparednessPreparedness is an effort to maintain a

state of disaster readiness through a continuous cycle of

planning, organizing, training, educating,

equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking

corrective action.

• Planning• Training• Exercises• Education

Examples


Response

Response is the aggregate of decisions made and actions taken in the immediate and short-term aftermath of a disaster or emergency event. It focuses on meeting the urgent priorities of life safety, incident stabilization, and preservations of property and the environment as a whole.

• Search and Rescue• Emergency Medical• Firefighting• Perimeter Security

Examples


Recovery (more than just “IT/Data Recovery”

Recovery is the process of returning an organization, society, or system to a state of normality after the occurrence of a disastrous event. It involves both short and long-term objectives and focuses on the reestablishment of critical community or organizational functions.

• Business Continuity• Alternate Facilities• Temporary Work Space• Insurance re-imbursement

Examples


Preparing for a Crisis

WUSM Emergency Operations

Plan


Purpose

“The purpose of the Emergency Operations Plan is to direct the actions of departments and agencies in the event of an emergency/disaster.”

• Lays framework to save lives, minimize injuries, protect property…preserve University functions

• Outlines actions for WUSM departments and agencies

• Does not deal with events that occur on a daily basis and/or can be handled quickly by response personnel.

WUSMEmergency Operations Plan

• The WUSM EOP outlines the response actions to be coordinated and managed by the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

• Organizes all WUSM resources into the answers commonly needed for typical disaster problems.

Primary and Support Agencies

Primary• Lead agency to execute

roles and responsibilities outlined

• Performs function from EOC

• Update function annually

Support• Provides personnel

and/or resources• Supports Primary

agency in EOC and field responsibilities

“One or more WUSM departments will be assigned the primary responsibility for each of these functions and may also be assigned one or more support responsibilities.”


WUSM EOPConcept of Operations

The EOP outlines actions before, during, and after a disaster.

Pre-Event• What to do

before• Contact

lists• Drills• Mutual Aid

Notification• Actions

when something may happen

• Call up lists• Activation of

contracts/ resources

Response• Immediate

actions• EOC role• Life-safety

actions• Incident

stabilization• Property

protection

Recovery• Connects

response to long-term cleanup

• Leads towards restoring to normal


Connecting with the FieldICP vs. EOC

• “In the event that an ICP and an EOC are activated during a disaster response, seamless coordination between the two centers is vital for effective and efficient response.”
