14 MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS VALERIE A. ARKOOSH, MD, MPH, CHAIR KENNETH E. LAWRENCE, V ICE CHAIR JOSEPH C. GALE, COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY MONTGOMERY COUNTY E.O.C. 50 EAGLEVILLE ROAD NORRISTOWN, PA FAX: Thomas M. Sullivan DIRECTOR INFORMATION-Procedure:Excessive Heat Conditions-Rehab May 2017 Montgomery County Department of Public Safety-EMS is reminding all of the EMS agencies and other County agencies of the resources available for REHAB. Squads listed with green YES have complete capabilities including cooling vests/chairs, misting fans and ice, ice coolers, and shade tents. Other services have some of the items and nearly every service carries water and other drinks. Services should post the attached chart and this to remind personnel of the way to request REHAB resources to the scene if needed. NOTE-Under the Incident Command System (207), REHAB of on scene responders falls under the Logistics Section Chief, Service Branch Director, Medical Unit Leader 1 Utilize all REHAB supplies from your own service as they are available. 2 Forecast the duration of the incident and the current and future weather conditions. 3 Look at air temperature and humidity levels. The heat index scale is an attachment that can assist you in making the determination as to how threatening conditions are. 4 Once your local REHAB supplies are in use and there is an expected need for additional resources confer with IC and EMS sector and make a request through Emergency Communications Division (ECD) for additional REHAB resources. 5. Consider resources for cooling and shade from the canteen units and other assist units such as the Salvation Army canteen units-where applicable 6. Using the attached listing, dispatch will determine the next closest service that meets your needs request and dispatch that service. County REHAB resources are to be used as a last resort, because they are primarily intended for training classes, drills and other events, although they are ready to respond upon request. It is far better to have REHAB assets enroute early than to have people collapsing due to heat. The need for air conditioned buses at the scene should be considered early for a forecasted extended operation, Incident Commanders should consider local bus assets first and if necessary after local assets have been exhausted, then the Rehab 313 bus (Lower Merion) and SMART Medical bus(west Conshohocken) may be available to respond to major incidents. Contact Emergency Communications Division and request these assets early if you believe you will need them; these services take some time to assemble and travel to your location. Thank you MCDPS-EMS Division May 2017

The NCBRT is offering the following Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certified course: Readiness: Training Identification Preparedness Planning This course teaches participants how to create effective training plans for their agencies and jurisdictions. By evaluating their abilities to meet their emergency operations plan (EOP) using traditional and national preparedness tools, participants can answer the following critical readiness questions: How prepared do we need to be? How prepared are we? How do we prioritize efforts to close the difference? Agencies that plan and train together are much better equipped to successfully respond together. In this course, participants learn a Jurisdiction Training Assessment Process in which an integrated assessment team creates a jurisdictional profile and evaluates their abilities to meet their EOP. Participants are then able to identify and catalog training gaps and identify ways to close them by prioritizing training efforts, developing improvement plans, and implementing a course of action.
