2 Objectives Overview of FEMA s role in Response and Recovery in response to all-hazards incidents and new technological advancements to enhance or ability to respond effectively in support of local and state governments to include the private sector. 2

3 FEMA Mission Reduce loss of life and property, and protect the Nation from all-hazards, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters, by leading and supporting the Nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. 3

4 FEMA s Key Organizational Elements Disaster Operations Disaster Assistance Mitigation National Preparedness Logistics Management Grant Programs US Fire Administration/ National Fire Academy National Continuity Programs 4

5 Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act Operationally-focused organization and procedures Gap Analysis and Catastrophic Planning Migrate NRCC to function in all-hazards environment Establish a National Logistics system Enhance National/Regional Emergency Response Teams Be tactical lead for Disaster Emergency Communications Increase DOD-FEMA coordination & support to civil authorities Expand Pre-Scripted Mission Assignments to entire Federal Interagency National Housing Strategy 5

6 NIMS and NRF National Incident Management System (NIMS) Standardized process and procedures for incident management Incident NIMS aligns command & control, organization structure, terminology, communication protocols, resources and resource typing to enable synchronization of efforts in response to an incident at all echelons of government Local Support or Response State Support or Response Federal Support or Response DHS integrates and applies Federal resources both pre- and post-incident Resources, knowledge, and abilities come from independent Federal Departments and Agencies National Response Framework (NRF) Activation and proactive application of integrated Federal resources-activated for Incidents of National Significance 6

7 Operational Planning Operational planning is a key core FEMA competency Enhances ability to proactively plan for real events Coordinates interagency planning efforts (HSPD-8) Adds greater capabilities: Vertical and Horizontal operational planning spanning the interagency community and all levels of government Develop hazard-specific National/Regional contingency plans Forecast and analyze potential events and trends Conduct crisis action planning and catastrophic planning Facilitate all-hazard contingency operations coordination Develop National/Regional operational planning guidance 7

8 Gap Analysis Program (GAP) Initiative Standard methodology used to identify resource gaps at the local, State, and Federal levels Factors in mutual-aid (local) and EMAC (State) resources Maturation of program 2007 Hurricane-centric in the eighteen Hurricaneprone states and DC/USVI/PR 2008 All-Hazards focus in all fifty states $2.5M effort to build on original work 8

9 Gap Analysis -- Next Steps 2007 Hurricane-centric Commodity Distribution Debris Removal Evacuation Sheltering Interim Housing Fuel Availability Medical Needs Communications 2008 All-Hazards Commodities Distribution Emergency Debris Removal Transportation & Evac Sheltering/Mass Care General Population Companion Animals Special Needs Search and Rescue Fuel & Emergency Power Medical (With HHS) 9

10 NRCC and RRCCs National Response Coordination Center Multi-agency team that coordinates disaster response at national level Maintains comprehensive 24/7 situational awareness Operational element of DHS National Operations Center Coordinates national-level personnel and resource deployments Transitions into a secure mode later in 2008 Regional Response Coordination Center Multi-agency team that coordinates disaster response at regional level Supports State and local authorities by deploying disaster response teams/liaisons Provides situational awareness and response requirements/analyses Supports multiple concurrent disaster operations within Regions 10

15 Federal Emergency Response Assets/Teams Incident Management Assistance Teams (IMAT) (New) Emergency Response Team-National (ERT-N) (Old) Emergency Response Team-Advanced (ERT-A) (Old) Federal Incident Response Support Teams (FIRST) (Old) Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Forces Hurricane Liaison Team (HLT) Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS) National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) (HHS) Domestic Emergency Support Team (DEST) Nuclear Incident Response Team (NIRT) 15

16 Incident Management Assistance Teams Initial Federal presence; begin flow of Federal resources Replaces ERT-N, ERT-A and FIRST Liaison to State/local emergency managers Provide situational awareness and needs assessment Train and exercise with State IMAT Operational Concepts Arrive within 12-hrs of notice; self-sufficient for 48-hrs Permanent team members Three National IMAT; Ten Regional IMAT National IMAT-East Washington, DC Regional IMAT (R-IV, R-V, & R-VI) At Regional Offices National IMAT-West Sacramento, CA (September 2008) Region II IMAT Regional Office (Sept 2008) 16

17 Disaster Emergency Communications (DEC) Improve all-hazards disaster response interoperability Work with States to develop communications plans, gap analysis, communications interoperability, & continuity Deploy telecommunications assets during incident to ensure critical interoperability among First Responders Ensure continuity of DEC through FEMA Regions Support DEC needs of State and local governments Establish JFOs & support continuing operational needs Aid in evaluating post-disaster communications needs 17

18 Pre-Scripted Mission Assignments (PSMA) PSMAs are time-saving tools prepared before a disaster to facilitate rapid response Provide baseline Mission Assignment (MA) for work routinely needed during disaster response MAs are mechanisms used to task the interagency community for disaster response assistance Coordinating PSMAs with 27 Departments and Agencies Currently over 220 PSMAs: Federal Operations Support Technical Assistance Direct Federal Assistance 18

19 Sample Department of Defense PSMA DOD supports multiple functional areas Rotary wing heavy and medium airlift Tactical and strategic transportation Communications Debris removal and emergency route clearance Aerial damage assessment and remote sensing Housing and logistics Mobilization centers and operational staging areas Fuel and commodities distribution Security and public affairs Medical evacuation and facility support 19

20 National Disaster Housing Strategy Charts a New Direction to better meet needs of disaster victims and communities Establishes a national vision and goals Describes broad array of involved organizations Provides sheltering and housing efforts overview Articulates key principles and current practices that guide disaster housing 20

21 Charting a New Disaster Housing Course Clarity of Responsibilities & Roles Meeting Complex Individual & Household Needs Effective Planning Disaster Housing Individuals & Households All Levels of Government, Private Sector, & NGOs All hazards, including catastrophic events Flexible & Adaptable Housing Options Effective Communications to Manage Expectations Connection Between Housing & Community-Related Services 21

22 New Uses of Technology in FEMA IMAT equipped with state-of-the-art technology for deployments NRCC and RRCCs use of new systems for situational awareness (EMIMS) Greater use of share point technology throughout agency (HSIN) Greater prominence of disaster communications technologies Greater use of web technologies for operational planning purposes More efficient use of sheltering and housing data Integration of resources and GAP data in catastrophic planning Use of PSMAs to expedite Federal support in disasters Greater emphasis on GIS to provide detailed graphical information Total Asset Visibility for better tracking of logistical resources Videoteleconferencing allows for real-time info sharing during events 22
