• This guide can be printed prior to filling in the data on-line by Facility Manager and/or Facility Electrician
• Afterwards, this guide can be printed by facility and stored for future reference.
• Note: Printable PDF (10 Pages)
EPFAT - User “How-To” GuideData Collection First Step
BUILDING STRONG®
• FAQs will provide additional answers for users for the POC, site facility, geospatial and processes required
• New FAQs will regularly be added to reflect responses generated as a result for technical assistance
• Two email addresses have
been provided to end users to request both technical electrical support and technical EPFAT support
EPFAT - FAQsAdditional Guidance for User
BUILDING STRONG®
• 12 Categories are used to classify all types of facilities
• Category chosen based upon function of facility during crisis events
• Under each Category, selected are then listed facility “Types”
• Reports can be created based upon this data
EPFAT - Facility DataFacility Categories
BUILDING STRONG®
• Six main tabs to navigate data input & assessment
• Tabs data entry must be completed in order with some data fields Mandatory
• Facility Category and Type are “drop downs” and stored
• Assessment should be completed by a qualified professional electrician
• Entry date is used to ensure data is validated and/or refreshed on 3-year intervals
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryFacility Information Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• Physical Address Information
• Key Data Fields
• Lat / Long obtained through web Google map service and/or accurate GPS Unit.
• Printing the “How-to” guide will help make data capture and data entry much easier.
• Map displays the street address entered. User can zoom, move and/or adjust the “pin” to exact facility site location.
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryFacility Location Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• Primary POC’s may be regional but local or on-site is preferred
• Some data fields are Mandatory
• This data will be used to allow contact to the facility during 3-Yr intervals for data updates and data verification
• Email, telephone and address information are critical data to scheduling data updates and maintaining data accuracy
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryPrimary Facility POC Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• Alternate POC’s may be regional but local or on-site is preferred.
• Some data fields are Mandatory.
• This data will be used to allow contact to the facility during 3-Yr intervals for data updates and data verification
• Email, telephone and address information are critical data to scheduling data updates and maintaining data accuracy
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryAlternate Facility POC Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• Some data fields are Mandatory
• Generator size determined by a “qualified professional”. EPFAT does NOT calculate generator size required (yet?)
• Actual Lat/Long geo-location of Generator is stored and “pin” can be moved to exact site location
• On-site notes about placement and Generator connection stored
• User can upload photographs or other documents (pdf; gif; jpeg, etc)
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryGenerator Information Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• Summary page is one-page overview of all information and data collected entered for Facility and Generator
• Each section can be easily returned to and any information entered edited by user
• This information and data is used to print various reports and will be used to print a hardcopy of the Facility Assessment Guide for use by facility.
EPFAT - Facility Data EntryData Summary Tab
BUILDING STRONG®
• User facility information will be added to national level database and used by Local/State/Federal R&R agencies during crisis events
• Generator Assessment data will be used to identify/pre-position assets whenever possible and for any generator needed at the facility for any given crisis event
• E-mail requests will be sent to facility POCs to verify data and information on 3-Yr frequency

Future Uses of the Data• Upload facility data for all locations into ENGLink Emergency Power
Module (When ENGLink program update replaces existing Power Module).
• Provide geo-referenced location of facilities and generator locations• Plan for pre-event inventory of potential impacted critical public
facilities• Planning tool for pre-event staging of potential number of facilities with
generator requirements and also various generator sizes• Improve overall installation response time• Improve processes for mobilization / de-mobilization of resources• Allow greater flexibility in mission execution• Improve overall Federal/State/Local Response & Recovery related to
Emergency Power Mission
