Introduction
• National Center for Emergency Medical Preparedness and Response (NCEMPR)
• Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX)
• National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (NERRTC)
Purpose
To bring together regional healthcare resources, emergency medical resources, ancillary resources, health providers, and first response partners to assist in the development of the Regional Emergency Support Function Plan (ESF-8).
National Response Framework (NRF) and ESF – Emergency Support Functions
• The National Response Framework is a guide that details how the nation conducts all-hazards response– from the smallest incident to the largest catastrophe.
• ESFs are:• The primary operational level mechanism to provide
assistance.• Organized around functional capabilities (e.g.,
emergency management, transportation, search and rescue, etc.)
Emergency Support Functions
ESF #1 – Transportation
ESF #2 – Communications
ESF #3 – Public Works and Engineering
ESF #4 – Firefighting
ESF #5 – Emergency Management
ESF #6 – Mass Care, Emergency
Assistance, Housing, and Human
Services
ESF #7 – Logistics Management and
Resource Support
ESF #9 – Search and Rescue
ESF#10 – Hazardous Materials Response
ESF #11 – Agriculture and Natural Resources
ESF #12 – Energy
ESF #13 – Public Safety and Security
ESF #14 – Long-Term Community Recovery
ESF #15 – External Affairs
ESF #8 – Public Health and Medical Services
ESF 8 - Purpose• ESF #8 provides for coordinated state
assistance in response to a:• Public health and medical disaster or
emergency (e.g., pandemic flu outbreak, bioterrorism attack).
• Natural disaster (e.g. flood, hurricane, earthquake).
Includes addressing public health and medical needs assessment, public health surveillance, medical care personnel deployment, medical equipment and supply distribution, patient evacuation and care, safety and security) medical care personnel deployment
Why Are We Here?• To enhance the safety and security of the
citizens of the regions and the state.• To represent the breadth of healthcare
organizations, including regional trauma centers, hospital organizations, clinics, etc.
• To develop region-specific plans.• To work in conjunction with the RACs.• To support the North Carolina Office of
Emergency Medical Services.
Objectives• To develop a plan that provides consistency across the
state, yet allows the flexibility to meet region unique requirements.
• To create a plan that fully supports the mission of each region’s medical disaster response and recovery resources.
• To construct a plan that allows for simple maintenance and updating by RACs.
• To create an atmosphere of communication, cooperation & collaboration between partners/stake holders that supports a regional, integrated approach to planning and response.
Regional Data
• Regional data is being collected to augment plans.
• Information is being collected from both the SMARTT system and the MHTD GIS system.
• Information not addressed in those or other NC state systems may be collected in an online survey.
• We will endeavor to avoid asking RACs to provide data that can be found elsewhere.
SMARTT
State Medical Asset Resource Tracking Tool (SMARTT)
• Web-based tool capable of monitoring hospital, EMS system and health center resources (bed availability, specialty service capability, disaster resources, etc.)
• Hospitals provide information on a daily basis, EMS and health centers on a weekly basis.
• Resources are quickly identified and made available for use in the event of a local, regional, or statewide disaster.
MHTD GISMulti-Hazard Threat Database (MHTD)
A collection of web based mapping applications, data layers, and online forms from OEMS, the state and other agencies that enhance strategic planning, emergency response, incident command structure and resource management during any natural disaster, product recall, terrorist attack, disease outbreak or other all-hazard event.
Data Collection
• Regional data is being collected to augment plans.
• Information is being collected from both the SMARTT system and the OEMS GIS system.
• We will not be asking RACs to provide data that can be found elsewhere.
Phases• Phase I: Develop Templates
• Phase II: First Site Visit
• Phase III: Plan Development
• Phase IV: Second Site Visit
• Phase V: Third Site Visit – Plan Review
Timeline• July 7: Plan template distributed to the RACs.• July 11: Meeting in Raleigh to review templates.• July 15 – August 6: Planners/SME teams make
first site visits to assigned regions.• August 9 – September 17: Planner/SME teams
draft regional plans (Aug 13 in progress review)• September 20 – 30: Planner/SME teams return
to regions for plan review.• October 31: Final draft plans due to NC OEMS.
