3 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance REGION 3 HEALTHCARE COALITION ALLIANCE 2018 HEALTHCARE HAZARD VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION The Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance is made up of three existing Healthcare Coalitions: Northeast Florida Healthcare Coalition (NEFLHCC), North Central Florida Health Care Coalition (NCFHCC) and Coalition for Health and Medical Preparedness (CHAMP). The 18 counties served by the Alliance include: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Suwannee, and Union Counties. Planning for response and recovery for this 12,000 square mile geographic area can be challenging as it includes immense diversity from rural to urban areas and includes both coastal and inland counties. BACKGROUND Each Coalition developed a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) as a contract deliverable for Fiscal Year and expanded into a more comprehensive assessment for These early HIRA reports presented by each Coalition provided the first unified assessment of hazard risk, vulnerability, capabilities, resources, and gaps as they impact and relate to the healthcare system in each sub-region. The HIRA described the methodology used for the assessment, which served as the basis for the Community Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (CVA). With the creation of the Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance, and as a contract deliverable for , the Alliance developed this Region 3 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment. The Alliance created a team of emergency management, public health and planning subject matter experts (SME) to combine and evaluate the regional data to create this 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA). PURPOSE The Region 3 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment is used to identify hazards that will have the highest impact on the regional healthcare system. This assessment of hazards and vulnerabilities to the healthcare system will be used to further develop an assessment of risk and gaps in the response capabilities of the regional healthcare system. Page 2

4 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance METHODS and PROCESS The SME team met to review various HVA tools and determined the Regional Hazard Vulnerability Assessment found on the ASPR Tracie website and developed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was the template that best meet the needs of Region 3. The SME Team then reviewed previous Coalition CVA documents; county Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (CEMP) and healthcare facility HVA documents to determine a baseline of the primary natural, manmade and technological hazards events impacting the healthcare system for these north Florida counties. Using the de-identified data from empower Attachment 1 empower data and the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) Attachment 2 SVI data each identified regional hazard was then scored on Probability and Severity to determine the Level of Risk Region 3 faces as a result of each event type occurring in the Region. Probability = Likelihood it will occur Severity = Magnitude + Mitigation Magnitude (Human + Property + Business Impacts) Magnitude (Regional Preparedness + Internal and Regional Resources) After scoring all hazards across all categories, the Risk or Relative Threat to Region 3 was determined as a percentage. The hazards were then ordered from highest to lowest and grouped into Major, Moderate and Minor severity levels. Page 3

5 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance The hazard severity levels were presented to each Coalition Board for feedback and approval in its respective April 2018 Board meeting. Each Board approved the process and agreed with the results. Each succeeding annual update will consist of a review of the previous year s data (updating where appropriate), and integration of relevant new information as it becomes available. The annual Region 3 Healthcare HVA update will also take into account lessons learned and corrective actions identified through plan updates and revisions, exercises, and real-world events. HAZARD RISK AND VULNERABILITY REVIEW Review of hazard risk and vulnerability data from the multiple data sources identified the following hazards for healthcare in Region 3. These were the hazards used to complete the Regional HVA Tool. Table 1: Region 3 Healthcare Hazards Region 3 Healthcare Hazards Cause Hazard Flooding with potential for disruption / harm Natural Hazards (Acts of nature) Human Caused (Intentional Actions) Technological (failure of systems) Temperature Extremes Hurricane / Tropical Storm (including storm surge) Pandemic Infectious Disease Multi-Jurisdictional Wild Fire Tornado or Microburst Winter Weather Event Armed Individual/Active Shooter incident MCI Incident General Injuries MCI involving chemical, biological or radiological materials MCI involving conventional weapons Cyber Terrorism Multiple Facility Evacuations Widespread Supply Chain Interruption Widespread Transportation Disruption / Failure Regional Fuel Shortage(s) Regional Electrical Failure (i.e. blackout) Regional Communications Disruption Regional Sewer / Water Treatment Failure Regional Water Disruption / Interruption Page 4

6 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance DATA USED TO DETERMINE HAZARD SEVERITY Historical data found in each county CEMP and facility HVA provided the information for probability. The use of empower and SVI data assisted in determining the severity scores for each hazard. Table 2: REGION 3 empower DATA County Medicare Beneficiaries Electric Dependent Beneficiaries Alachua 40,023 1,719 Baker 4, Bradford 4, Clay 36,812 1,700 Columbia 13, Dixie Duval 144,458 6,618 Flagler 32,820 1,123 Gilchrist 3, Hamilton 2, Lafayette Levy 9, Marion 100,023 4,531 Nassau 18, Putnam 17, St. Johns 48,203 1,807 Suwannee 9, Union 2, Totals Data from April 2018 REGION 3 SOCIAL VULNERABILITY DATA The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) uses U.S. Census data to determine the social vulnerability of every Census tract. Census tracts are subdivisions of counties for which the Census collects statistical data. The SVI ranks each tract on 14 social factors, including poverty, lack of vehicle access, and crowded housing, and groups them into four related themes. Each tract receives a separate ranking for each of the four themes, as well as an overall ranking. The map below provides an overall view of the social vulnerability rankings in Region 3. Individual county maps are included in Attachment 2. Page 5

8 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance HAZARD RANKING Results of the probability and severity scoring using the Regional HVA tool determined the following priority levels of hazards. Table 3: Prioritized Healthcare Hazards for Region 3 Region 3 Healthcare Hazards Level of Risk Hazard Hurricane / Tropical Storm (including storm surge) Regional Electrical Failure (i.e. blackout) Flooding with potential for disruption / harm Major Cyber Terrorism Infectious Disease MCI Incident General Injuries Regional Communications Disruption Multi-Jurisdictional Wild Fire Widespread Supply Chain Interruption Armed Individual/Active Shooter incident (Large Scale) Moderate Tornado or Microburst Pandemic Multiple Facility Evacuations Regional Sewer / Water Treatment Failure Regional Water Disruption / Interruption Widespread Transportation Disruption / Failure Regional Fuel Shortage(s) Temperature Extremes Minor MCI involving chemical, biological or radiological materials MCI involving conventional weapons Winter Weather Event USE OF HEALTHCARE HVA DATA Future activities planned for this analysis include identifying the capabilities of the regional healthcare system to respond to the identified impacts found in the HVA. Evaluation of these capabilities will better define the gaps across the region, which will better inform the future planning, training and exercises and special funding projects for the Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance. Page 7

9 Healthcare Hazard Vulnerability Assessment June 2018 Region 3 Healthcare Coalition Alliance The annual work plan is determined from the grant requirements, as well as the gaps found using this HVA data. The focus for upcoming years will be COOP, Active Assailant, Evacuations and funding member projects to fill identified gaps. Future training and exercise priorities are based in the results of the HVA. Upcoming training includes: COOP Training for Healthcare Facilities; Crisis Leadership; Nursing Home Incident Command; Active Assailant; Basic and Advanced Healthcare Emergency Management; State Patient Movement Plan Training; Stop the Bleed Bleeding Control; and Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents. Upcoming exercise topics include: Communication Drill; FLHealthSTAT Drill; Coalition Surge Tool and various other Hospital Exercises; Hurricane Response in Healthcare Facilities; COOP Exercises for Healthcare; and various exercises to meet the needs of members. The Annual Training Summit provided by the NEFLHCC provides the opportunity to provide training, as well as tabletop exercises, for the planning and training priorities for the current contract funding year.

56 HHS empower Initiative - August 2017 Update Data Overview REFERENCE DATES Category Enrollment and Death Description We restrict the Medicare population beneficiaries alive as of the most recent Medicare Enrollment Database (EDB) available. We additionally restrict to beneficiaries who are enrolled in either original Medicare (Parts A/B, also known as fee-for-service or FFS), or Medicare Advantage (Part C), as of the most recent month available in the EDB. Data as of 6/1/2017 DATA DESCRIPTION End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) In-Facility Dialysis Data: This data is comprised of all Medicare beneficiaries that have been identified as having received dialysis treatment in an outpatient facility in the past 3 months. Oxygen Services [Tanks] Data: This data is comprised of all Medicare beneficiaries that have been identified as living at home (i.e., not in a Long Term Care facility/nursing Home) with a rental of oxygen tank services. The rental cap period is 36 months. Oxygen tanks contain oxygen and provide supplemental oxygen required for certain respiratory conditions. Nursing home Nursing home residence is determined by using a combination of nursing home-related Medicare FFS/Medicare Advantage claims and the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments as of this date. 5/1/2017 Home Health Services Data: This data is comprised of all Medicare beneficiaries that have been identified as living at home (i.e., not in a Long Term Care facility/nursing Home) with a home health visit in the past 3 months. Home health visits can be for intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech-language pathology services, or continued occupational therapy services. Power Dependent Devices and Durable Medical Equipment Users End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Power-dependent device and durable medical equipment use is determined by the presence of Medicare FFS/Medicare Advantage claims during various lookback periods, all ending on this date. ESRD patients are identified as receiving In-facility dialysis treatment or athome dialysis DME by the presence of Medicare FFS claims/medicare Advantage in the 3 months prior to this date. 7/28/2017 7/28/2017 Power-dependent Devices and DME Data: This data is comprised of all Medicare beneficiaries that have been identified as living at home (i.e., not in a Long Term Care facility/nursing Home) with a rental claim for the specified equipment. The reimbursement cap period for most types of DME is 13 months. The only exceptions are oxygen concentrators, at-home dialysis, and cardiac devices*: * Oxygen concentrators have a 36 month rental cap. * At-home dialysis is identified through Medicare claims indicating receipt of dialysis treatments at home, not through Medicare DME claims. We use a 3 month lookback. Medicare requires that a dialysis facility be responsible for providing dialysis services to all patients receiving dialysis at-home should their equipment not function. * Cardiac devices such as ventricular assist devices (VADs) and/or total artificial hearts (TAHs) are implanted within an individual to support continued cardiac function and require direct access to power to charge the device and its back-up battery. We use a lookback period of 5 years to identify individuals with an implanted cardiac device. Additional DME and Devices Information: NOTES * Power-dependent medical equipment users are included in counts only if they are not residing in a nursing home. * All cells with values from 1-10 have been replaced [masked] with 11. * County level summary counts reflect sums of masked and unmasked zip codes. * Territory/state summary counts reflect: For territories/states that have contain zero or more than one masked zip code - actual totals. For territories/states with exactly one masked zip code - sum of the masked and unmasked zip codes. Sums that include exactly one masked zip code are indicated in the State Actual Data tab by an asterisk. Zip Codes: Some zip codes do not appear separately in the aggregate-level counts as we were unable to locate specific geospatial boundary data for their given area. Most of the zip codes that fall within this category are P.O. Box zip codes, though in some U.S. Territories these include residential zip codes with a very high prevalence of P.O. Boxes. As many individuals will reside within the geographic area, we f Cardiac devices include left, right, and bi-ventricular assist devices (VADs), and total artificial hearts (TAHs). VADs and TAHs are mechanical pumps that are used to support or replace heart function in people who have some form of heart failure. A ventilator provides life-maintaining/saving oxygen for an individual Vests provide high frequency chest wall oscillation (inflating and deflating of the chest) to thin mucus and ultimately clear it from the lung airways. A bi-level positive airway pressure device (BiPAP) provides pressure controlled ventilation in a system allowing unrestricted spontaneous breathing at any moment of the ventilatory cycle. An oxygen concentrator extracts and concentrates oxygen from the air and delivers it to the patient via tubes or masks. Concentrators may be used to provide life-maintaining/saving oxygen 24-7 or in some cases are used during different periods of a day to provide supplemental oxygen required for certain respiratory conditions. An enteral feeding tube is a medical device used to provide nutrition to patients who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, are unable to swallow safely, or need nutritional supplementation. An IV infusion pump is used to deliver fluids, medication, or nutrients into a patient's circulatory system. Often, they are used to deliver antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain relievers into a patient's body in controlled amounts. A suction pump is a medical device used by those who have difficulty raising or clearing mucosal secretions inside the air passages. They are often prescribed for conditions pertaining to air passages, the throat or mouth, dysfunction of the swallowing muscles, or tracheostomies. A motorized wheelchair or scooter is useful for those unable to propel a manual wheelchair. They are used by both people with mobility impairments as well as those with cardiovascular or fatigue-based conditions. An electric bed is a bed designed with features including adjustable height for the entire bed, the head, and the feet, adjustable side rails, and electronic buttons to operate both the bed and other nearby electronic devices. f " "

58 Overall Vulnerability Florida [Data Classfied by Florida Census Tracts] 2014 Social vulnerability refers to the human factors within a community that negatively affect its ability to manage circumstances harmful to health. Communities must prepare for and respond to hazardous events such as environmental disasters, chemical exposures, and disease outbreaks. Preparing for these events prevents or decreases both human suffering and financial loss. The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) 1 compares and ranks every community in the U.S. at the Census tract level, on many social factors. These factors, including poverty, lack of car access, and crowded housing, are further grouped into four related themes. Each community receives a separate ranking for each of the four, as well as an overall ranking. To learn more, please visit SVI home page.

62 Overall Vulnerability Florida [Data Classfied by Florida Census Tracts] 2014 Social vulnerability refers to the human factors within a community that negatively affect its ability to manage circumstances harmful to health. Communities must prepare for and respond to hazardous events such as environmental disasters, chemical exposures, and disease outbreaks. Preparing for these events prevents or decreases both human suffering and financial loss. The Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) 1 compares and ranks every community in the U.S. at the Census tract level, on many social factors. These factors, including poverty, lack of car access, and crowded housing, are further grouped into four related themes. Each community receives a separate ranking for each of the four, as well as an overall ranking. To learn more, please visit SVI home page.

77 Introduction Sentinel Crisis Solutions, Inc. was tasked with updating the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) for the Marion County Coalition for Health and Medical Preparedness (CHAMP). Sentinel Crisis Solutions utilized information from the 2015/2016 HVA, state hazard assessment, Marion County Hazard Mitigation Plan, and statistics from state and local resources to determine needed changes for The Kaiser tool was utilized and factors in planning/mitigation along with potential of hazards. For 2018 additional input was gathered from several local agency HVA processes and Marion County Emergency Management. This new information was instrumental in updating the CHAMP HVA. This gives a picture of the risks facing the health and medical community. This information is valuable in assisting CHAMP with continued planning efforts for the Marion county health and medical community. Review A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency situation. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to create risk. Risk is defined as the expectation of loss. A hazard vulnerability assessment (HVA) is part of a systematic planning process for disaster preparedness and will help CHAMP fully understand the picture for health and medical planning in Marion County. Hazards can be naturally occurring such as geological, meteorological or biological. They can also be human-caused, such as by accidental or intentional means. For health agencies, planning for disasters requires a multi-faceted approach. The systematic identification of potential hazards in the community is a valuable first step in the establishment of appropriate preparedness measures. Effective plans that utilize local resources to deal with potential disasters are necessary for the agency to determine realistic and appropriate measures to respond to these hazards. 3

78 Materials and Methods The 2018 update utilized the Keiser Permanente Hazard Vulnerability Assessment tool. Although the Keiser instrument is developed for a facility it is adaptable to the health and medical community. The Keiser tool improves the process of determining risks by including preparedness planning and resources in determining overall risk. It measures the magnitude of the hazard in 3 areas Human Impact, Property Impact, and Business Impact. It incorporates planning and mitigation in 3 areas also including Preparedness, Internal Response and External Response. See Attachment 1. For further explanation of each of the six areas mentioned above see the instruction sheet at the end of attachment 1. Baseline data was updated and the data sources are displayed on the Baseline Indicators worksheet. Attachment 2 During February and March, HVA workshops were conducted for CHAMP members and discussion from the participating agencies were incorporated into the 2018 update. The CHAMP HVA was also discussed with Emergency Management and the County Mitigation Strategy Plan was reviewed. The State of Florida Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan also contained county hazard information. Some probabilities were changed based on this information. Hazards were given a value of 0, 1, 2, 3 to indicate their probability of occurrence. Scoring definition listed in Attachment 3. A formula built into the Keiser tool then calculated the Risk Percentage utilizing the probability and severity scoring. The risk percentage shows the likelihood that risks would occur if the health-care system was faced with the hazard. Some individual factors in some hazards were changed based on member input resulting in changes to the top five hazards. The hazards probability and risk percentage are listed In descending order on Attachment 4 and in alphabetical order on Attachment 5. Other factors to consider in addressing hazards are the number of people in the county and the vulnerable populations. Marion County s estimated population from the US Census Bureau for July 1, 2017 is 354,353. The Social Vulnerability Index 2014 displays the areas of the county with the highest index. Social vulnerability refers to the human factors within a community that negatively affect its ability to manage circumstances harmful to health. The Social Vulnerability Index include factors such as poverty, lack of car access, and crowded housing. Attachment 6 4

79 The HHS empowermap also displays vulnerable populations by demonstrating monthly total of Medicare beneficiaries with electricity d=dependent equipment claims at the US state, territory, county and zip code level and turn on real-time natural hazard and NOAA sever weather tracking services to identify areas and populations that may be impacted and are at risk for prolonged power outages. Attachment 7 The Florida Department of Health Access and Functional Needs Profile, Marion County, 2016 also gives pertinent numbers regarding citizens with access and functional needs. Attachment 8 Discussion The 2018 updated information can now be utilized to help determine preparedness activities that the CHAMP should pursue. There are several ways to consider the results. First and most obvious is to prioritize the hazards highest to lowest by risk. The top 4 are hurricane or tropical storm (67%), power failure and sink hole (both 50%), wildfire (44%), tied for fourth are epidemic (41%), communications failure (41%) and cyber/it failure(41%). Due to several hazards having equal scores there are 8 in the top 4 and the next drop in risk significantly so we have only included the top 4 scores (past HVA included the top 5). These top 4 remain the same (as the previous HVA top 5) with the exception of wildfires. The State of Florida Enhance Hazard Mitigation Plan rates Marion County as high for wildfires and there have been several wildfires in the last several years. A power failure was caused by a wildfire in part of the county last year. A large part of the county is rural and also Marion County contains a large part of the Ocala National Forest. Flood was removed from the top 5 based on the same resource from the state and the fact their has not been any wide spread flooding in the past several years. Hurricanes/tropical storms often result in power and communications failure, therefore, assuring hurricane/tropical storm preparation also will help mitigate power and communications failure. This can help save time and resources for CHAMP and its members. All planning should include consideration for those with increased vulnerability and special needs. By preparing for these special populations all citizens are safer. 5

80 Conclusion Information from the 2018 Hazard Vulnerability Assessment can be utilized to build upon emergency preparedness plans. Agencies and organizations can also utilize this information to enhance their understanding of known hazards and how they may impact the health and medical system. Information from this process can be used as one of the tools to determine allocation of resources. The 2018 CHAMP HVA was performed utilizing the Keiser Permanente Assessment Tool. This tool lists the probability of known events, assesses the Human, Property and Business impact then factors in the Mitigation through Preparedness, Internal Response and External Response. Utilizing this HVA tool, hazard events were prioritized based on risk. The top 5 hazard events are; hurricanes/tropical storms, power failure, sinkholes, wildfires, epidemic, communications failure and cyber/it attack. (8 are listed due to tying risk scores.) Addressing these areas will also assist in other hazards that may be high in probability but lower in risk such as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Many conditions of thunderstorms and tornadoes are found in tropical storms and may cause similar actions such as response to power failure or need for shelters. Hurricane/tropical storms, sinkholes and wildfires can cause transportation disruptions which would address another specific hazard. Epidemic response would be similar to biological terrorism and in some cases chemical terrorism because isolation/quarantine or mass prophylaxis could be necessary in all of them. Utilizing the Keiser tool mitigation/preparedness portion allows reflection on the gaps in these areas for each hazard. For hurricanes/tropical storms the risk score is higher due to experiences by all CHAMP members in the 2017 Hurricane Irma event. The CHAMP members and county Emergency Management will be reviewing and updating their plans based on the after action reports. Power failure has not been addressed in planning except through the possibility during hurricanes/tropical storms. Media has reported in the past that the electric grid is aging. This could possibly lead to long term power outages. Again sinkholes are high because the state has determined Marion County at probability 3 which means it could occur frequently. CHAMP and the health and medical community have begun to address planning for sink holes that could threaten a medical facility or a large population area. Wildfires can bring many issues with threats to lives, facilities, power and transportation as examples. CHAMP members need to evaluate their facilities and supply chains to determine how wildfires can directly affect them and plan accordingly. 6

81 Epidemics continue in the top 5. The recent Ebola activity in the United States helps demonstrate that more planning and training needs to be conducted in regard to recognition, reporting, communication, isolation and quarantine. All health and medical agencies would be involved. Communication failure can occur on its own or as part of any hazard. There is always a need for improving communication. Cyber/IT failure continues to be at risk. The world continues to be more and more dependent on the internet, computers and electronics. Media has reported stories on consequences of electrical grid disruption. CHAMP needs to assure they can communicate and distribute needed information without computers or cell phones. To address these gaps CHAMP members need to become familiar with current county and individual agency plans to address these hazards. Areas that overlap need to be identified to assure maximum use of resources. Also, areas for improvement need to be addressed and plans put in place for mitigation. CHAMP members can improve their individual and county plans by sharing best practices with each other resulting in stronger plans for all. 7
