2 On the Brink of Disaster: How the Rhode Island Department of Health Prepares for and Responds to Public Health Emergencies Alysia Mihalakos, MPH Interim Chief, CEPR Rhode Island Department of Health November 13, 2013
3 What Is Emergency Preparedness? To achieve the vision of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): FEMA will work to prepare the Nation for disasters by encouraging individuals, government entities, and public and private groups at all levels to become informed of the risks they face, to make decisions that help keep people, property, and institutions out of harm's way, and to possess the capability and knowledge needed to act when disasters occur."
4 Public Health Emergency Preparedness All-Hazards Approach Biological Chemical Radiation Natural Disasters Mass Casualty Incidents

6 The Development of a Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response (CEPR) Implemented January 26, 2006 Responsible for planning and coordination of public health emergency management efforts Oversees work on the following grants: Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant (CDC) ($4,443,500 in GYE14) Hospital Preparedness Program grant (HPP) ($1,517,061 in GYE14)
7 1. Community/Healthcare Preparedness 13. Surveillance & Epidemiology Day-to-Day Capabilities 12. Public Health Laboratory Testing 10. Medical Surge Immediate Response Capabilities 3. Emergency Operations Coordination 6. Information Sharing Incident-Specific Capabilities 2. Community/ Healthcare Recovery 5. Fatality Management 7. Mass Care 8. Medical Countermeasure Dispensing 9. Medical Materiel Mgmt & Distribution 11. Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions Intermediate Response Capabilities 4. Emergency Public Information & Warning Support Capabilities 14. Responder Safety & Health 15. Volunteer Management
8 CEPR Mission The Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response is dedicated to creating and promoting a state of readiness and prompt response to protect the health of Rhode Islanders during catastrophic events and large-scale disasters and emergencies
9 CEPR Accomplishes Its Mission... By coordinating education, assessment, planning, response, and support services involving public health providers, private medical providers, public safety agencies, and government officials

11 What CEPR is NOT!
12 Planning EOP: Emergency Operations Plan The plan that each jurisdiction maintains for responding to appropriate hazards COOP: Continuity of Operations Purpose: To ensure that the capability exists to continue essential agency functions across a wide range of potential emergencies DOC Manual Contains information on DOC operations, capabilities, staffing, and procedures
13 HEALTH EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN Draft Organizational Chart Introductory Material Purpose, Scope, Situation, & Assumptions Concept of Operations Organization & Assignment of Responsibilities Base Plan Outlines the organizational framework for the activation and management of all-hazards response and recovery activities by HEALTH Information Collection & Dissemination Communications Administration, Finance, & Logistics Plan Development & Maintenance Direction, Control, & Coordination Authorities & References Functional Annexes Focus on HEALTH s critical emergency functions performed during incident response Incident-Specific Annexes Provide hazard-specific details on HEALTH s response activities for selected scenarios Support Plan Annexes Describe plans that enhance or support HEALTH s response activities Appendices Contain additional resource information for incident management, reference, and improved response Incident Command System Overview Pandemic Influenza Medical Emergency Distribution System Plan ESF #8 Desk Reference Guide Continuity of Operations Plan Disease Outbreak (SARS, Smallpox, Foodborn) Healthcare Service Region Support Plan Command Resource Guide Department Operations Center Manual Natural Disaster Warehouse Operation Plan Operations Resource Guide Health Information Center Manual Drinking Water Laboratory Emergency Plans Planning Resource Guide Emergency Public Information Plan Ingestion Pathway Hospital Diversion Plan Logistics Resource Guide Tactical Communications Plan Radiological Ambulatory Strike Team Plan Finance/Administration Resource Guide Special Populations Plan Chemical Mass Fatality Respiratory Protection Plan Biological Detection System Plan Center for Emergency Preparedness and Response On-Call System Protocol ***NOTE*** HEALTH s EOP is the internal portion of the ESF #8 Annex, which serves as the Public Health & Medical Services component of the Rhode Island State EOP, maintained by RIEMA Cyberterrorism Complex Regulatory Issue Family Assistance Center Plan Mass Casualty Incident Plan CHART LEGEND Developed or active In development or revision Not yet developed Support plan outside HEALTH
14 Reviewing the Incident Command System
15 What is ICS? The Incident Command System (ICS) is: A standardized management tool for meeting the demands of small or large emergency situations Used for all-hazard events Representative of best practices The standard for emergency management across the nation
16 Why was ICS developed? In the early 1970s, ICS was developed to manage rapidly moving wildfires and to address the following problems: Too many people reporting to one supervisor; Different emergency response organizational structures; Lack of reliable incident information; Inadequate and incompatible communications; Lack of structure for coordinated planning among agencies; Unclear lines of authority; Terminology differences among agencies; Unclear or unspecified incident objectives.
17 What are the benefits of an ICS? An ICS enables integrated communication and planning by establishing a manageable span of control An ICS divides an emergency response into five manageable functions essential for emergency response operations: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance and Administration
18 How the structure works The modular organization of the ICS allows responders to scale their efforts and apply the parts of the ICS structure that best meet the demands of the incident The number of personnel and the organization structure are dependent on the size and complexity of the incident
19 General Organization of ICS
20 But how to apply this to public health? Evaluated three different scenarios: An influenza pandemic A large-scale hurricane A large mass casualty/mass fatality event
21
22 ICS Vests & Identification In ICS, all staff members wear vests that clearly identify their position titles Positions appointed in ICS do not correlate with regular Departmental positions Wearing vests and using specific position titles aids the clear identification of roles and responsibilities within ICS All employees should also display their HEALTH badges at this time
